Default Durability of Painted Cabinets

We are remodeling our kitchen and want to change our natural maple cabinets to a white finish. Some contractors paint, but others say that paint is not durable. They say the it can chip, peal and wear. Some resolve this by replacing doors and either refacing the base or painting with lacquer. Both of the latter are more expensive than just painting. So the question is just how durable is paint if it is properly applied by a professional?
