Another reason some people don't like frames is because of browser compatibility.

iframes are the best, but you have to use some css to make them all pretty like.

I don't think there's much more to learn about iframes than that. They don't get to complex. Maybe if you started using some JavaScript and such to target multiple frames at the same time or something, but there's not much to it other than that I don't think.
