Yeah, vomit isn't way up there on my list of favorite things either.
Phenergan, lysol and bleach got me through many "gall bladder attacks" with my mom. They are powerful stuff though and I would save them only for vomit emergencies.
Then I went to college where people would drink until they puked (and yes, I did that a couple of times myself) and I got over it pretty quickly. Talk about immersion therapy.
In my experience vomit contamination where you live has a short half-life. Less than a week. It's even shorter if treated with bleach.
But as you noted, some places can never be fully decontaminated and just have to be avoided.
