I use my table saw with a sled for most cuts. To be honest though I don't worry much about rails or stiles being cuts exactly square....as long as they're close enough it's fine. When I cope my rails I remove about 1/32" of material on each end, this ensures that I get a full profile cut, and that they are dead on square. Stiles don't need to be square either as I'm going to do a finish cut on the door after glue up. That's when it needs to be dead square and the table saw does a nice job of it.
good luck,

I use a Table saw with my JessEm slider or incra 1000SE.

Whatever's free, and has an acceptable blade on it, at the moment -- TS w/Incra, TS w/X-cut sled, TS w/panel sled, CMS, RAS ......
I'm more lazy than particular, and get pretty accurate results with any/all of the above :)

Other: Hammer K3 sliding table saw make crosscuts painless.

I use my DeWalt miter saw. I don't have a good miter guage for my TS. But, regardless of saw used, the final and most important step is squaring the piece after the gluing, using criss-cross measurements to guarantee it drying square.

Voted other... Festool TS55 on MFT/3 table.. set the stop and get perferct square and length for each rail and stile..
-
Anyone else use an old miter box and backsaw?
-
I voted other because I have a Dewalt 12" SCMS and now and dead perfect crosscut sled on my TS3650. If it fits on the tablesaw then I use that but if it is a long piece of stock then i use the SCMS. Either one does a fine job it just depends on the stock length.

Sliding table on table saw.

I use my 12" Rigid SCMS for accurate crosscuts.

All of the above.......
I have a sliding tablesaw along with a couple of cabinet saws, an OMGA, and about a dozen chop saws, and if the power goes out a handbox and a Lion trimmer, so no shortage of choices. Whatever works best for that job. I don't see it as a one answer question.
For styles and rails I have an old cast iron Delta jackshafted 10" that is massaged perfect in all planes. It is a dedicated saw for just that, does not leave the shop, and has been giving me perfect results for many years.
For larger jobs I will use the carrage on the slider and cut in batches.
I use the OMGA 14" for larger stuff. It creates so much wind that small pieces make me nervious.

Jointech Smart Miter on my table saw. Fast, accurate, square and repeatable.

I replied other because I use an Incra 3000 with sled on my TS but also use a SCMS & my Eurekazone EZ-One bench (a track saw bench).

I voted other as I wasn't sure if my TS sled should be listed as TS.
