If I have two distinct tasks that each require a set of buffers then
sometimes I create two frames.
As others have mentioned there are advantages to using frames. Modern X
Windows environments have keybindings for common operations on frames.
However, Microsoft Windows only has a few of those, to tiresome
switching between the keyboard and mouse is needed. I use both X and MS
Windows daily. I generally prefer using Emacs windows rather than frames
becuase they can be manipulated using the keyboard on all platforms.
