The wormdrive allows this saw to be a narrow profile - kind of a lefty/righty friendly saw for those who like to hold the wood close ...
I don't know about this saw, but while the DWS780 is great for large construction materials it kinda sucks at precise cuts for trim or woodworking - just too much weight and too much flex/slop in the mechanisms.

For the miter cuts that really matter, unless the piece is too big, I either use a fixed 10" or a table saw with Incra miter gauge.

I am far from an expert, but I do own the dws780 and it's a phenomenal saw. I love how precise it is, the kerf light and that it can cut a 60* angle. With all that being said the 780 is far from portable. The only advantage I can see in this saw vs the dewalt one is the size and weight.

Wow what the heck are they thinking people are cutting on their miter saws that they'd need a worm drive saw amount of power to cut?! This feels like marketing BS.

Great price. I own the Dewalt they have on sale for $219 and it's been a workhorse. Of course I paid more...

I agree I'm not sure what you could possibly be cross cutting and need worm drive power for. I have the skil saw table saw and love it for the worm drive. I just don't see the added benefit to worm drive for this..

Curly maple, purpleheart, all the especially hardwoods or the ones that are prone to blowing out at the end, this helps with that. I have an amazing Bosch with crazy cross cut length that I don't need to pull out my table saw for putting together a cutting board. This won't see much of the rough wood processing, that's what the other 4 tools are for Smilie

Power to cut through without losing rpm, of course you could also use a strip of painters tape if you want for peace of mind

Would moving more slowly through the wood be able to compensate for lack of saw powe

To a degree, yes, but then you risk burning. Painters tape is the better route for blowout prevention.
