You can still buy oil based paint, just not at a home improvement store. Rustoleum spray paint is mostly oil based. I recently stained my house with oil based stain.
Laytex paint would never last on a bathtub. My buddy still uses oil based paint for all his bathtubs, tile, and kitchens. His tub repaints last well over 15 years and then he has people calling him back to do them again. I don't know if he uses the same paint on cabinets that he uses on tubs and tile.
