I don't own a jointer myself but use a very nice 8 incher at my uncle's shop quite a bit. In my experience I get a great surface that would probably just get worse if I ran it through my table saw. Not only would the surface get worse but I would also run the risk of the board becoming slightly out of square if I was to run it through the TS. This is after I've spent numerous hours keeping up with my TS alignment. I just trust the jointer much more than the TS as far as milling lumber and producing glue ready joints. But then again, I am fairly new at this woodworking hobby and can't preach my technique as it is mostly self taught. My point is that if your jointer is not producing glue ready joints, then something is not right.Last I go to the table saw and put the jointed edge against the fence and cut the other size parallel. The final step is to flip the board over and make a very light cut on the jointed edge to clean it up and take off the ridges from the jointer blades.
