i feel the same mate, its probably the worst job in the world to do. People who know me tend to stay clear of me when i've been cutting in coz i get very very angry. Even thinkin about it is getting me wound up!

taping up is so much easier, especially if your having to do a few coats.

I hate it with a passion, only taped up one room but ended up with a brush and a wet cloth when i did all the other rooms
Still got to tidy up the coving in the master bedroom and i know this sounds bad but i really really cant be arsed

Cutting in is going round the roof and skirting boards when you paint walls. It's a pain in the ass.

I dont mind it, i can 2 coat an avarage height 3mx2.5m room in about 3-4 hours including drying time.
get yourself some monarch elite purdy brushes and for cutting in i use a 3" brush with a small 1/2" brush for skinny areas.

You've not said, but dont use a tiny brush to do cutting in....3" minimum is better
