The shift from miter saws to track saws for trim work
I've been doing high end trim in Seattle for 15 years. For a decade, everyone on site used a miter saw for everything. In the last 3 years, I've seen maybe 70% of the crews switch to a track saw for long runs of crown and base. The main reason is speed and accuracy on site, especially in tight spaces where you can't fit a 12-foot board on a miter stand. The clean cuts mean less sanding. Has anyone else made this switch, and what's your go-to blade for painted trim?

Track saws are a game changer for long runs. I use a fine tooth blade for paint grade trim, around 60 teeth.

Yeah that 60 tooth is the sweet spot for clean cuts on paint grade. I've been running a 48 tooth for general stuff but might bump up to try that.
