Radial Arm Saws

I recently became aware of these things. I guess at one time they were common, then they died out, so much that I’ve never seen one in real life.

What do you think about radial arm saws? Did you use one back in the day? Why did they go away?

Would a modern-day, redesigned radial arm saw have potential? I’m wondering if modern guards and electronics could address the issues that killed the RAS?
