Ok, I will tone down my hatred for forms for just a _few_ minutes.
1. it is _slightly_ more dificult to grab a the link to send someone a link
to a specific page because the page you are looking at is not the link shown
in the "location" bar of your GUI browser.
2. If you do send someone a link to a specific page, and they go directly to
it vs navigating the frames it will look different than what the orginating
person was looking at:
http://lesstif.sourceforge.net/download.html
vs
http://lesstif.sourceforge.net/frames.html ->Downloads ->Download Page
3. It is very anoying when you go from one site (with frames) to another
groups site and still have the frames from the first place.
http://lesstif.sourceforge.net/frames.html ->Downloads ->CD-ROM vendors
->Debian
4. I have seen very few frames sites which will not confuse the browser when
printing.
Note: I do use Netscape Comunicator almost exclusivly so some (but not all) of
this may be caused by the specific browser.
Sorry Alexander.
Please at least always provide a frames free set as well, it keeps people like
me less anoying. :)

I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development
That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you.
