I would say it depends on what they're using iFrames for.
I'd say that iFrames do serve a purpose. They allow you to display
content that's in another page, while still looking like a "div". If
you need to reload the display of what's in the iFrame, you only need
to load that particular iFrame, and not the entire page. And, by
using a hidden iFrame, you can do server-side processing without
having the user leave the page they're on.
Now, if they're using iFrames like "frames" [which are really pretty
different in some respects], then, yeah, you can probably get rid of
them.
