I don't mind the occasional mild addiction and I like iframes in the following situation:

A client has an elaborate website 'template' which - as you point out - they are likely to change every year or two.

You want to develop a web-based application, running on the client's server. If you create a single page, based on the client's current template and plonk an iframe tag to the application, your application runs within whatever html horrors the client has foisted on the world; you reveal nothing to the outside world about the structure of your application (apart from its start page); when the client's ponytails redevelop the corporate branding, you can update your application with a single line of code. I like iframes in this situation and I am very sorry they are being deprecated. Any thoughts?
