Dust extraction is a good point. Safety, accuracy and speed too. I was only asking because it seems to default to "get a track saw" when someone asks for circular saw recommendations. I can see why both would make sense for a pro, but a circular saw (ideally, that takes an adapter for rails) always seemed more useful for DIY.
I've been trying to make this point on this thread for a while. Plunge saws are great in many ways but I advise lads starting out to always buy a circular saw first and I'd say the same to any DIYer.
