I don't think they're bad at all really. Alot better than frames anyway.

May have a problem with SEO though, saves having to use includes or worse still, updating a menu or whatever by hand everytime you change it.

Not very portable to cell phones... but other then that I think they have their uses...

What do you mean by this? What's wrong with includes?

iFrames like anything else have their uses but for some stuff like using it for a menu on a site could be done much better with SSI.

Nothing at all wrong with SSI, but some (free) servers may not support them, so an iframe is an easy alternative.

Thats true and fair enough when used properly.
