A good table saw can do most all cuts.

I agree with this theory. All I'm saying is, for a beginner that may be under space and/or budgetary constraints, a higher end cabinet saw isn't a necessity. I have the Kobalt jobsite because I work in my garage and it fit in my space. I spent some time getting it set up true, and I built a crosscut sled and jigs for straight edges, tapering, tenons, miters and scarf joints. Sure, some things would be easier on a saw with a bigger table, or a better fence, but so far I've found ways to do everything I've needed to do. It just might take a little more time and patience.
