Serious question about miter saw accuracy and digital gauges

I keep seeing guys at the shop in Austin swear by those digital angle finders, but mine reads 0.2 degrees off after 3 months of normal use. Maybe it's just me, but I trust a solid square and a test cut on scrap pine over any battery powered gadget. I calibrate my dewalt every Monday and still catch drift, so why is everyone acting like these things are magic? Has anyone else ditched the digital stuff and gone back to manual setup on a 12 inch saw?
