Yes, but this discussion isn't about
you but rather the OP, Windows, who's looking to make doors and windows and other home improvement items, rather than high-end cabinetry with super tight tolerances. Working exclusively with a bandsaw may work perfectly well for you doing that, but I personally don't believe it is the ideal choice for the work being undertaken and that the euro-style sliding table saw is the better choice of the two because of its versatility.
I made this large triangular window for a conservatory a little while back, I don't think there's another faster, safer (well if I had the guard on it would be safer
), and more accurate way of making these acute cuts, and that's just one of its numerous uses.
Even in a tiny workshop I would still make room for one above all else (aside from a planer thicknesser) because I can live without most things but I would really struggle without the sliding table saw.
