Current navigation frame is simple to use and long table lists don't
reset their scroll position when I change tab - which we would lose if
DIVs were introduced, unless we start using a multitude of hacks to
work around it. What are the advantages of removing frames, aside from
using not-cool-feature that currently works well for us?

For example, when you select a db and then select a table from the navigation, then you refresh the browser, You'll be back to the db page. It's because the url doesn't change.
I agree that it would hurt current positions. So I choose to make it a  hidable sidebar. Then the current positions can stay unchanged.
