Ditched my nail gun for a hammer on trim work, still shocked

I spent 14 years in Austin swearing by my 18 gauge nailer for baseboards until a homeowner asked me to hand-nail their 100 year old quarter round and the fit was just cleaner. The gun left those tiny divots that always needed putty, but a good hammer set with a nail set gives me a perfect flush finish every time. Anyone else go back to basics on trim and find it faster once you get the rhythm down?

Same here, hammer plus nail set just feels right, huh?
