Question:

How do I fit inside corners without coping?

Corners

To avoid coping inside corners when installing base (and save some time), butt the base to a small block nailed into the corners. I make my blocks 4"X3/4"X3/4", but you can experiment to find what you think looks good. It's quick, easy, and adds a different touch.
