Personally, I don't think the hurricane of sheetrock dust is worth it.
Most
drywall contractors I've seen still use a keyhole saw.

Rotozips kick ass. One guy with an RZ can do a whole house in the time it
takes a guy with a keyhole saw to do a big room. If the dust bugs you that
much spray a little water on the wall. Either way you are gonna clean up
some dust.

Today, I used a RotoZip. I had to tee into a water line, and run a stub
through the wall to make an outside hose bibb. Zip zap. Located the
studs, cut a hole, sweated in a tee, put the piece back with a little mud,
done. I set the depth so that I wouldn't have to worry about cutting
anything, and I didn't even come CLOSE to anything.

I think that only a union man working by the hour would have anything
against a RotoZip.

A hand drywall saw definitely has places where it's the weapon of choice.
Not many, though.
