For supporting tasks only: Imagine you are starting from a full-screen
window and want to see temporarily a variable definition in a second
window while still hacking away.  The advantage is that window
operations, like C-x } enlarge-window-horizontally,
delete-other-windows-vertically,... operate simultaneously on all
windows.  In such situations it seems to me much more convenient to use
windows than set it up with frames.
