We are ready to do some inside painting and do most of you tape all the casing/trim work?

They sell, or you can make an edging tool that you just slide along the molding to protect the wall.

Using tape around moldings will never make you a good 'cutter'. Only time I use tape is on stained/poly'd baseboards, keeps the little falling droplets from marking them up. People who tape woodwork rarely cut a neat wall to ceiling line.
Get a good brush, an angled Wooster Pro is what I use. Thin your paint a bit so it flows easily and in a thin coat. Use the edge of a 5 IN 1 or spackle knife to remove the little you might get on the wood.

My wife does the edging. I’m not as good as she is so I tape. It keeps the marriage intact.
