I use a latex painters caulk - much easier.

I often use spackle on cabinets that are to be "painted". I use it on small
knot holes and small cracks. Easer to sand smooth when the wood is softer
than the putties that get hard.
Spackle is easy to sand. Easy to sand and or softer than the wood filler
enables you to sand the patch with out sanding a high spot where the filler
is and low spots around the patch where the wood is.
I have used Rock Hard on numerous occasions but I don't think it would be
good in all applications.

I use Brummer Stopping (UK brand). It's water based and is notable
for negligible shrinkage.
I've just made a quick plywood bookshelf and finished the edges and
surface with it. Smear a blob on thickly, dip your fingers in a jug of
water and rub. It thins down in situ to whatever consistency you need
and the final surface barely needs a wipe of sandpaper before
painting.

Maybe I'm missing something... but why do you want to spackle your cabinets?

Do you think Rock Hard would be better than easy to sand?
Never used easy to sand.
Durham's comes in a red cardboard cylinder with a pry out lid.
The giant economy size is 7 or 8 dollars. It is a dry powder that
you mix with plain water. You can make it a little stiff or a
little runny depending on what you're working on. It works on
wood, plastic, concrete, ceramic tile, and heaven knows what else.
It will live on a shelf or in a tool box for years and be ready to
go to work when you need it. No worries about freezing in the
garage or being dried out when you go to use it.
That's about all the glowing I'm good for.

I bought some DAP Fast 'n Final at the blue borg the other day. Dries
fast, needs no sanding, and counts the change in your pocket by radar.
Actually works pretty good. Light touch with a sanding sponge smoothed
it right out. Slicker 'n deer guts on a doorknob.

Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty. Absolutely indispensable in the
construction, maintenance, and home upkeep worlds.
Automotive Bondo, or equal, works well also. It is more expensive
and storage sensitive.
