I can't think of an application where a nail is better. Sure, sometimes a nail will do, but that doesn't make the nail better, just cheaper.

For framing a house a nail is absolutely better. As the house settles, wood shrinks, and the frame flexes in storms or quakes the nails allow the wood to move instead of causing things to warp and break.

TIL. I thought it was just about speed and cost.

Anywhere that you need greater shear or flexibility, nails are preferable.
