Supposedly, the trick is LOTS of very thin coats of mud. Spray texture
helps, too. My husband is fairly decent at it now. I totally lack the
patience, though I'm good at hanging it. Taping and mudding is way too
slow for me.

Yeah, no kidding.
I've seen people use a flashlight pointed along the line of the wall
which works great if you're buying a house too.

Another trick to a good finish is a really good primer and a couple of coats
of eggshell or flat paint. My brother in law is a pro (20 yrs exp) at
dry-walling and even his stuff can look bad under a high gloss or satin
finish.

the real trick is to hang the board yourself, and hire a professional
to do the mud and tape.
they can often do a whole house in 4 hours, if they are good and have
the right tools. best 400 bucks you will ever spend.

Did you tape the seams? If you tape the seams and feather the mud
from edges out with a wide putty knife, the seams usually don't show.
