Is it better to:

the cabinets & appliances over the new tile?
OR
2) Replace and fix all cabinets first, then only tile up to the cabinets?
It would seem like a waste of money to tile under fixed equipment like
cabinets. If they're being screwed to the wall and never expected to be
moved then why tile under them? That and the weight of the cabinets on top
of the tiles would present greater likelihood of cracking them.
For applicance bays it might be worth tiling into them to help avoid spills
running off the main floor area and down directly to subfloor. Or if you're
using really expensive tiles then use something cheaper, but of the same
height, in the unseen areas.
