Pocket screws vs. Dominos for face frames - which one actually holds up better long term?

I used pocket screws on my last kitchen job and the frames are still tight after 3 years, but a buddy swears by the Festool Domino for everything and says my method is just asking for trouble down the road, so what's your take after a few years in the field?

My uncle's been building cabinets since the 80s and every single one of his own face frames is still held together with plain old dowels and glue. If pocket screws are so good, why does every old timer I know laugh at them?

Read somewhere that dowel joints actually outlast pocket screws in sheer strength tests, @jason562.
