So, what's wrong with a manual mitre saw?
You need a high quality backsaw and miter box to get a good accurate miter. Nowadays that costs more than an inexpensive power compound miter saw that will cut just as accurately and much faster. Also, power miter saws do compound miters which are very difficult to do if not impossible using most miter boxes.
