I've always thought a peeler could have been better in many ways: better material and design, sharper and more practical.

For most easy tasks (carrots, potatoes, most fruits, celery, cardoni, etc) I have a cheap-feeling plastic Kyocera peeler with a ceramic blade. It works great, and has for years. If I stress it overly the blade pops off, but that is the signal to switch to...
...the Oxo Good Grips peeler. This is a traditional metal-bladed peeler for more serious work.
For oddly-shaped items with crooks and nannys like hands of fresh ginger, I turn back to the old standby: the very sharp paring knife.
I have yet to find anything that can't be peeled efficiently with one of those three.
