I've done electrical boxes that way myself. I couldn't follow a pencil line so I held the box against the drywall and scored along the sides with a drywall knife. Sometimes you'll still have to clean up the opening though because it doesn't always break away cleanly.

Anyway the other day I was watching a diy program and they were installing dry wall in the garage. They were going to cut out a hole for a dryer vent and holes to insert electric boxes. I was amazed how they cut the holes. They drew the pattern on the wall then using a utility knife scored along the pattern. They then took a hammer and whacked in the center and it drove out the area to be removed. There was virtually no dirt as compared to using dry wall saws.
