I'll just hit the major points:
- Very solidly built.  Very stable.
- The electric brake is so much more convenient than I expected.  You can switch out workpieces within about 2 seconds of a cut.  Now my table saw bugs me because it takes so freakin' long to spin down.
- It should have come with at least some worthy accessories.  The vertical clamp (DW7082) would be a good choice, IMO.
- The dust bag is completely worthless - without a vacuum-assisted dust collection system, sawdust rockets out the back of the machine.  Even with a vacuum-assist, you'll be sweeping up afterwards.  If this is really an issue, maybe sawing isn't for you. (*laugh*)
- The depth-stop system is shady.  If you press a little harder than "last time", the saw will bow down a little more.  It's very inconsistent.  Don't depend on it for a "real" dado.  That said, it is very convenient if ultra-consistent depth isn't important for a given task.
- The over-45 degree angle cuts are more a marketing gimmick than really useful - it takes more than trivial adjustments to bring this setup around.  And then you have to un-do everything to get the stops back to 45.
- When I was researching this saw, I read several complaints about the sliding arm bearings "shifting" or being a shaky (which would result in inconsisent cuts, of course).  These people obviously do not read manuals.  Just adjust the bearings using the tool in the back of the arm.  It takes maybe 30 seconds to do a very thorough job of getting the sliding arm very tight (tolerance) and exact.
- Yellow is a good color for tools.
- It comes more-or-less set up.  It's always a little disheartening to open up your new tool to discover a bunch of metal bits and a few baggies of screws.  You can make some sawdust within a few minutes of opening the box.  It did take some adjustment to get it to where I was ready to *use* it, but nothing major.  A minor point, but still pleasing.
- The handle being perpendicular to the blade and shifted towards center makes it not only more ergonomic, but also you can cut with either hand.
- The fences are very nice - they are tall, very sturdy and stable, and adjust/remove with only one wing-bolt.
- Of course the dual-bevel is great (though, honestly, gratuitous - still, I'm a fan)
- The cam-action miter base is superb.
- The adjusty-tool stores right in the back of the arm.  Very convenient.
- The included saw blade is mediocre.  It's great for chopping 2x4s or something, but it's not appropriate for "pretty" lumber.
So - I really like this saw.  If there was a 4.5 star option, I'd go with it.  If it was less or came with accessories (other than that dust bag), I'd give it 5.
