Anyone who wants the maximum number of folks to be able to look at their website are best off if they use basic html. Every feature you add is going to cut out some of your users. I for instance do not allow foreign scripts to run on my machine, so if you use javascript, flash, etc. I am not going to be able to look at your webpages.
The problem is that people who hire commercial programmers have no idea about these things and are fascinated by gee-whiz stuff, so even if they know better the commercial guys have to do it.

Nielsen's remarks about frames are way out of date. That stuff was written many years ago. Frames are quite useful these days. As far as making them work I've not had trouble and I'm no expert. Well ... no more trouble than the other stuff anyway.
Frames still make it difficult to bookmark sub-pages (impossible foe less-experienced web users) and give search engine spiders trouble.
