Yep. That is a pretty much the summary of the FOG discussion I linked to earlier. Both tools excel at different things and there is a bunch of overlap in what they can do, but I don't think that...

Your "solutions" rely on measuring and marking each piece and then accurately placing the track. On a table saw, you set the fence or miter gauge once and the cuts are easily and accurately...

Speed is always the goal. Luckily track saws exist so you can replicate or beat the precision of a table saw when in the field.
Breaking a sheet down creates wasted material and wasted time.

I didn't know that we were only talking about "in the field". You must be in construction and for that a track saw is an excellent option compared to a tiny portable table saw.

It's a pretty basic usage scenario don't you think? You get a 8x4 sheet and you need to rip it down to smaller pieces.

Imagine for a moment, a universe where one can own both a table saw and a track saw. May seem far fetched now, but scientists are working hard on opening a portal to such parallel realities.

Bottom of the first post.
They also have their new cordless miter saw on sale with the front mounted guide rails.
The track saw does come with the most extras though.

Those cases are the best. If I had noticed the track saw before pulling the trigger on the circular saw, I probably would have gone for that one.
