Saw some earlier threads on this, but hoping for a more up to date set of opinions.
 
I guess the poll is only for those with extreme views :)

I have an Atomic Frame-Less, on a scale of 1-10, its a solid 9.

Its comfy and a great field of view. Fit is OK, not perfect as sometimes needs to be cleared once or twice during the dive (I have a narrow face).

Much like our political system.

I have the same mask, the same skinny face and the same rating. My masks with frames never fit as well and thus get lower marks. Neither is the result of either having or not having a frame.

I voted "best invention since sliced bread" because I don't really like sliced bread that much.
 
I'd look more at the quality and view offered by the lenses. I am very impressed with the ultraclear lenses of the Oceanic Pioneer mask though I believe Atomic has a similar offering (doesn't fit my face as well though). Frame vs Frameless is not as important unless it is a backup mask in a pocket.
