i think your right about it not flowing like oil based paint. if i
remember correctly, i thought i read something about oil based paint
being phased out for environmental reasons, is this true? how widely
is the water based paint used now??

Water based acrylic primer/undercoat is a real bonus for interior work
but the gloss and satin versions are pretty hopeless IMO. I still use
oil based for topcoats.
