Spoken like someone who has never used a RAS.
You can't dado (as opposed to grove) with a CMS.
You can't rip with a CMS.
You can't put a moulding cutter on a CMS.

You can do all those things with a table saw.

The only big advantage of the RAS is its required floor space. They
can be stuck up against a wall, which *really* limits the utility of a
table saw.
