Thanks, and you are right, a lot of people waste more
time trying to find a way around cutting the drywall,
that it actually ends up being more trouble.
it's always faster to use the flex bit if you can. i've had no problems with it, using it on at least a monthly basis for over 5 years. if you can't run the flex bit without screwing stuff up, fine. if you can, use it.
I will let out one trick ,and that is never use a drywall
saw as it tears up the drywall to much, where fore it
wont patch perfectly level, which will in turn add 2 hours
to the job, always use a new drywall blade, there is a
tool called a speedy sharp that you can pass over the
blade edge that keeps it clean and sharp while you work
the drywall.
thanks for the tip! here's my tip: when making drywall repairs, use a wet sponge instead of a sanding block. it creates no dust, and works really fast.

what do you do about paint matching ?
its really not always to cut and patch.
especially when its venetian plaster or wall paper
or special color, etc.
home depot matches paint, regardless of "special color". usually about $20 a quart. if there's venetian plaster or wall paper, better get good with the flex bit.
