What's wrong with iframes?

I've been working on embedding a slideshow onto the product pages (a show of product images for each product) and have found a couple of good php slideshow apps for the job. I have one working now but it requires an iframe to do the job.
I saw a post in which Dr Byte said iframes are generally a bad idea. May I ask why? Is it serious like xss or SSL trouble?

By the way: I'm not interested in the popup type of show like lightbox or slimbox. I want the look and function of fully embedded, rotating, automatic. What I have found works fine.

You are probably fine with an iFrame inside a Zen Cart page - the problems start when trying to embed a Zen Cart page in an iFrame.
