The r/s has it's place in w/w, but I think it's main usefulness declined with invention of the mitre saw. I could have checked each category you listed.

I almost cut my left thumb off in 1984 on a radial arm saw and it has defintitely affected my growth as a woodworker. I have only recently (yes, 24 years later) began using a table saw frequently because of my fear and respect for the larger saws.

The footprint is huge and I do a lot of my cross cutting on my pull over mitre-saw. Since I don't (yet) own a TS I do dadoes etc with a router. I have never really considered a radial arm saw.
