Comparing HF to Festool in just about anyway is just stupid. One is a tool designed and manufactured to the highest tolerances for dedicated woodworkers or exacting professionals, and one is a utility tool that fits a certain need. I have never heard of a professional saying, "man, one day I would really like to have one of those HF miter saws".
I fail to understand all the animosity for Festool unless it boils down
to: "I can't afford them therefore I will disparage them."
The best I can tell from reading here and talking to owner/users of
Festool tools they have no complaints except perhaps for the initial
cost.
If I was 40 years younger, and setting up a woodworking hobby shop my
go-to brand would be Festool. And, 40 years later the tools might be
antiquated but I'd be willing to bet that they would still be working -
and, if not, Festool would be happy to repair them...
