| The usefulness of frames is evident for buffers that update their
| content according to the current buffer (like Speedbar and
| ECB). Besides this kind of use, when do you prefer frames instead of
| windows?

Single frame for Ediff: A on top, B in the middle, Control at bottom.
The separate control frame is a nuisance with focus-follows-mouse, it
almost always is out of focus, loses the cursor, or misbehaves in other
fashions...
