noticing.

Are there better adhesives out there these days?

There are some situations where epoxy is not the easiest or most suitable.
Where some gap-filling is needed, where large amounts of adhesive will have a
tendency to flow away from where it's wanted, and where some strength reduction
is acceptable, the polyurethane in a cartridge is very useful, e.g. Selleys
Liquid Nails. I was sceptical at first, but now I'm frequently finding uses for it.
