When used with an edge guide, it performs well making straight cuts. It is also a top choice when making complex and curved cuts. Vibration is the short answer.
Jigsaws use a cutting action like the larger reciprocating saws. This can be overcome in most stock by clamping the stock. However, cutting lattice with this tool is not the most pleasant of experiences. You do want a jigsaw in your workshop at some point. When that time comes, buy a top of the line tool.

All in all, the best way to cut plastic depends on the thickness of the plastic in question and your available tools.
