Default radial arm saw vs. compound miter saw

the only advantage of radial arm saws over a cms seems to be the ability
to cut wider material

they also are a little more squirrely and i would not say they require
more vigilance but they can require more force to prevent from running

would not consider buying a radial arm saw but maybe they still have a
place in the woodshop

if they do how do they fit in
