I tried peel-and-stick wallpaper vs real paint and I'll never go back to paper

I spent 40 bucks on a roll of peel-and-stick for my half bath accent wall. Looked decent for maybe 3 weeks then the corners started peeling up in the humidity. I ripped it off and spent 15 dollars on a quart of paint and a cheap brush instead. Took me 2 hours to do a simple stripe pattern and it still looks perfect 6 months later. The wallpaper was faster to install but way less durable for the same price. Has anyone else had bad luck with peel-and-stick in bathrooms or kitchens?
