I routinely tape the walls around windows these days. Aside from the cost of the tape I've had much better results. There are some issues with tape but the alternative takes so much longer and you can still have problems getting it to look properly edged.
I have done both for many years though and cutting in without tape used to be a delight with a trade oil based eggshell on top of a really thick oil based undercoat. I do miss some aspects of those days.
Painting window frames and new blinds. One down, three to go.
Very pleased with the results so far. Hoping I don't get complacent.
