I use Iframes for video and certain material which has to be loaded
independently.
It's unfortunate that I do have to use them, and if there was another
way - I'd love to hear it.
Provided they're not being used simply for layout - then by all means
destroy them! ;)

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.
