I can’t think of an application where a nail is better. Sure, sometimes a nail will do and there’s no need to use a screw, 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.
