Finally gave up on my old paint roller and tried a new kind

I was painting my kitchen cabinets in my apartment and kept getting tiny bubbles and lint in the finish with my old cheap roller. My friend lent me a 4 inch foam roller she got from the hardware store, and the difference was huge. The foam gave a super smooth coat with no texture, and I didn't have to sand between coats. Has anyone else found a simple tool change that made a big difference in a paint job?

My buddy Mike tried a paint pad for his trim last week and said it was way faster than a brush.

Honestly, I used the same crusty old brush for like five years because I was too cheap to buy a new one. Tbh it was shedding more hairs than my cat and leaving streaks on everything. Finally grabbed a decent angled brush for cutting in edges and it was a total game changer. Ngl I felt pretty dumb for putting up with the old one for so long. That smooth line made me look like I knew what I was doing for once.
