Opinions on "paint and primer in one"

[Ryan K.]

I've used paint and primer in one products a while back on a volunteer project where quality wasn't a top concern. Everyone there loved the product but I can't remember if it really met my standards.

What is everyone's opinion on this? Can you really skip the primer on new Sheetrock, and just apply two coats to get a good finish?

The "primer and paint in one" makes for a good Paint, but is no substitute for primer and paint, where a primer is needed.
