I can respect that opinion. If ones frame was solid and they only wanted updated suspension, braking etc, there are definitely easier, less intrusive options, but every situation can't be covered under that blanket statement. I'll use this next quote as my example.

The fact you where able to get your hands on that frame is likely the only reason your truck is still on the road today. While not ideal, if I didn't have any other options for getting my truck back on the road besides a frame swap...I'd take it.
In my opinion someone showing others it is possible to get good results swapping frames doesn't constitute giving bad advice.
