There are a few places where FIXED sizes are needed. They are few. Usually associated with another fixed object, like an image with text overlay.
In general, fixed (absolute) sizes should be avoided. they don't scale
The one thing I tend to do in fixed units are page margins, because I don't want my margins to scale with the text. I use ems for everything else.
