Took me 5 years of mudding to finally admit mesh tape is better than paper in corners
Paper tape kept bubbling on me at a remodel in Portland last month so I grabbed a roll of mesh on a whim and now I'm mad at myself for all those extra hours I wasted fixing bubbles has anyone else made the switch and never looked back?

Oh come ON. It's drywall tape, not a life-or-death decision. I've used both for years and honestly I think people get WAY too worked up about this stuff. Paper works fine if you know what you're doing with your mud consistency. Mesh has its place but I've seen guys use it wrong and end up with cracks too.

The whole "I suffered through the hard way so you should too" attitude is the same thing I see with people who refuse to use power tools on principle. Just because you can do something the slow way doesn't mean it's better.
