My kids are bad enough, I would not want to add to what I already have.
From what I understand from my clients, is that they want ease of cleaning, that would be the reason most commonly given for replacing wood with sheetrock.
I personally think its a shame to paint wood in general, you are basically erasing the story that that board has to tell. There is an adage in contruction; "Caulkin' and paint, make a carpenter what he ain't."
