Why does nobody talk about using a cheap laser level for hanging cabinets?

I was wrestling with a bubble level for 3 hours on my kitchen install in Cleveland until I grabbed a $20 laser level from Harbor Freight and it lined up every cabinet perfectly on the first try, has anyone else had that kind of luck with budget tools?

Borrowed a buddy's cheap laser level for hanging shelves and ended up buying my own the next day because it was so easy. Kinda makes you wonder why we still bother with bubble levels for anything bigger than a picture frame.

Nah, bubble levels still work fine for most stuff.
