We also use vinyl in our work environment: it's very durable – after 2 years and a lot of shoe wear, it still looks good. Designer floors are also easy to repair.

However, I wouldn't want to use vinyl as my main floor in a new building because of the artificial material, but I would like to have it as an alternative when renovating an apartment.

I find your list too one sided. What about the tactile feel? At the end of the day, what matters is what YOU want.
