   I use a new frame only when I want it on a different workspace.

   I use a second (or, occasionally, a third) window when I need to
   refer to one buffer while working in another (e.g.
   http://t.cfaj.ca/emacs-cv.jpg).

   Other than that, I use multiple buffers, often having as many as
   50 open at once.
