We had stainless steel appliances in the home we purchased last. We remodeled the kitchen, but the appliances were too new to toss. I hated the stainless steel - every little thing showed (we cook and use the kitchen a lot, and I spent a lot of time polishing the &$%& refrigerator).

Wish we had had enough room to do a kitchen table and a bar area. People always wind up hanging out in the kitchen in my house.
