I would agree that frames are antiquated and should be avoided. 
However, my opinion on iframes is different.  They remain the only
pure-HTML method of including the contents of another file in the
document, and are useful if used carefully.  If the iframes are used
purely for layout, then replace them.  If they are used as a method of
inclusion, and you have no other option available, then keep them.
