Eat in kitchens the new trend?

A kitchen island is practical because of storage and more counter surface but the idea of having a casual eat in kitchen is very appealing to me. It reminds me of those great Italian style meals where everyone gathers around a big table in the kitchen and enjoys a feast of good food and wine.  Would you replace your island for this eat in style?  I guess my only complaint would be eating around a huge mess unless you are super organized or have a great sous-chef to clean up as you go.  Lynda Reeves from Canadian House and Home said that this is becoming the new trend, what do you think?
