The wife has been doing some projects in the house and is about going
mad. We have eggshell paint on plaster walls and when she paints and
uses "painter's tape," the the tape pulls the paint off the wall.

She'd like to know if there is a better alternative, if she should
look for a particular brand, or if there is something else to help
with the issue.

Get a good quality trim brush and practice and forget the tape.

Taping everything is what they do on those "expert" home shows sponsored
by big box where they drop off a pallet of tape at the house they are
working on.

Agreed. It's MUCH easier and faster to paint a straight line than to get the
damn tape put on straight.
