Counted 127 dovetails on a single drawer box and it made me think

I was building a big jewelry cabinet with small drawers, each one needed hand cut joinery. When I finished the last one and added them up, the total hit 127. That's a lot of time spent on one part. Do you think hand cut dovetails are worth the extra hours for a high end piece, or is a good machine joint just as good for most jobs?
