I came up in the trades using the circular saw that the carpenters who hired me used: 7 1/4 inch sidewinders.
Re-framing an old house floor using Bosch’s 1677MD wormdrive. When I opened my own home improvement company, nothing changed, at least tool-wise. I bought sidewinders.

So the work habits I had working on somebody else’s dime quickly changed. If there was a second here or minute there I could save, I did. And the first place I started saving big chunks of time on framing projects was doing away with saw horses, at least for cutting framing.
