Are paint pads as good as rollers?

I have never used them as all paint needs a certain thickness and I can't see that occuring properly with pads. I have used a a kitchen sponge to get in behind a radiator or to try and lightly effect a repair.Are paint pads as good as rollers?
I love them, but they get a little sloppy sometimes. Mostly we've used both when we paint. The pads are great for tight spaces, corners, etc. If you get really good with them, you may not need to tape. They hold less paint, which is great for cleanup. No need to spend all that time cleaning rollers.Are paint pads as good as rollers?
They are OK but are slower than a roller. They do enable you to get into corners so that cutting in is sometimes not necessary. They do not splatter but you need a pretty good size if you are doing a ceiling. They do not have a deep enough pile to do any walls or ceilings that have some sort of relief in the pattern.
i would not wipe my **** with them, they give a poor finish, buy the best quality brushes and rollers you can afford. All these so called wonder products for painting yet you never see a professional decorator using them. wonder why?
I think they are better - no splatter everwhere like rollers!
