A lot. "Frames are evil" - you can find a lot of stuff about this topic
on Google and in other web authoring newsgroups.

In short: Frames cause a lot of accessibility and usability problems,
but don't provide real benefits. There are some very rare cases where
frames can be useful, but for most "normal" websites they're not.

No frames, just plain pages.

It's a bit more complicated here (all page requests are handled by a
single script), but yes, more or less it's like that. On every request
the init script is called/included to setup some important constants for
the other scripts, which will then handle the request.
