I guess it comes down to old school, where you make the tools work, and new school where the tools do the work for you. Seems like skill is lost to user friendly tools and paints.

The reason I don't use dale's etc is that it seems like you're dipping more than painting. I use the pip on interior walls, corners and cut lines. Sometimes on base too.

I use the swans and pips for everything, cutting in running base, The only time i use a sash brush is if i have a tight spot or if i am painting a real wood window, i still use a 3" though.
