Question about the switch from painting walls with a brush to using a roller for texture

I used to always brush my living room walls here in Albuquerque back in 2017 because I thought it gave more control, but now after seeing how fast and even a 3/8 inch nap roller works on my 12x15 spare room last week, I wonder if I was just wasting hours for no reason - anyone else fought with this debate on their own DIY projects?

Brush gives you way more control on the edges and corners, and that nap roller texture can really make old walls look bad if they're not perfectly smooth. Rollers might be faster, but if your walls have any bumps or imperfections, brushing covers them up better.

@the_hannah does brushing take way longer than rolling for a whole room though?
