In my experience, I wouldn't pick Vinyl for my own kitchen, however, I have done many kitchens with vinyl. Polytec is probably one of the better brands for Vinyl.
As mentioned earlier, heat & sun will age the material. When it comes to peeling, the main cause is when the edges get caught on something (such as another door or drawer) this would be very typical on a kitchen with cheap hinges & drawer runners. As soon as the doors start to knock or bump into each other, they will slowly but surely cause the wrap to unstick, crack & peel.
I'd pick a melamine over vinyl door any day. Polytec do a nice range of gloss melamine & even createc, which has the durability of PVC edging.
I think, I'll stay away with vinyls.
