We just moved into our new house with all drawers except under the sink and are loving every minute of it. Fad or not, I would never want a kitchen any other way again. So much space...
Don't have any problems with anything rattling although we don't keep our wine glasses in there and have soft closing drawers. We patios a lot more for them though, $100 per drawer through the builder. We chose our custom drawer heights after measuring every item in our kitchen and designed them to fit. They are fully extendable and full depth to maximise the use of the space.
