Best cabinet construction method?

I'm surprised that nobody seems to like the rabbet/dado and screw method.  My thought is that with the router setup on the guide track, and a plywood width straight bit, making dados on the MFT will be quick and easy.  Then just drop a couple regular screws in it.  Obviously won't work where the screws would show, but they aren't going to 95% of the time.  The rest of the time I can use dominos.

If the back and sides were on show I'd agree that a rabbet method would be my first choice, but glued, toe-nailed and clamped as oppose to screwed.

But for a project where it's all concealed I just think with modern methods like the Dominos or pocket holes and modern glues, means rabbets are just unnecessarily removing material and creating saw dust for no gain.
