Painting with latex is fun whereas painting with oil-based paint was a total pain in the ......... The fumes are so strong you can't use it indoors unless the area is well ventilated. The paint drips off the brush before you get it to the wall because the the paint is oily. Imagine painting with motor oil. It's almost that bad. I'll never use oil based paint again.
