    I agree freehand is quicker. However, you need to have a good quality brush. I have found that the low cost brush bristles get distorted easily and don't keep that crisp straight edge. Having said that, good quality brushes are expensive, painters tape is a bit cheaper. Yes, the brushes can be used over and over, but unless you're a painter by trade, the cost savings of using the tape works out better for the avg. 1 or 2 times you'll paint your rooms. Plus the tape has multiple purposes, not just for painting. Just my experience. I've gotten better at doing baseboards freehand and keep a wet rag handy for any excess. Painting should never be rushed, it's an artform in itself.

    If you keep a wet rag handy you can wipe off any mistakes. Save a bunch of money on tape.That tip was off This Old House.

    Plus painters tape got so expensive… spend the extra $ on a good brush. ( you can use a brush over and over / tape ends up in the trash when you’re done)

    Tape is just for the one who have no better idea of painting. Pro can do without tape
