The house that we have been in for the last 10 years came with an over the cooktop microwave which I do not like. IT is very hard to keep clean. I do like the double ovens we have though. We keep our pizza stone in one of the ovens and use it warm pizza. Otherwise the only other time it is used is when we are entertaining during the holidays. The top oven is a little high for me with the traditional drop down door. I have get help moving large items in and out.

In my last house, I had a six-burner Viking dual fuel range with a large Vent a Hood. The oven was massive and the convection was great for baking. I loved it and still miss it. The microwave was on a shelf above the counter between cabinets. We used it primarily for reheating.

My ideal set up would be the six-burner Viking with a wall microwave/oven combo with french or side-hinge doors. A warming drawer sounds interesting but I probably only use it during the holidays.
