So far, I have found that the pocket screw system is pretty great
I am at the point in my project where I need to attach the FF's

I thought pocket screw systems were for this? If this isn't
practical, I'd biscuit them. I used to put a 3/4" x 3/4" nailer strip
inside and fasten thru it so no nail holes in Face and strong.

I must be missing something here. I'm also building an entertainment
center and I'm planning on attaching the face frame with nothing but
glue, just like I've done in the past.

Is the use of other fasteners caused by inability to clamp? Or is
there some other reason that glue alone isn't enough?

Sometimes, say when hanging Euro cabinet hinges on the face frames, a
little extra fastening goes a long way towards peace of mind. Particularly
in a household with children regularly in attendance.
