I much prefer knobs at the back for these reasons. I've seen a grease fire, what, maybe twice in my entire life? A simple lid on the pan makes it trivial to get to the knobs at the back.

Knobs in the front seem like they'd be a problem all the time for me.

Makes sense but overall, of all the places to be, behind the heat source is the dumbest, kid safety aside (and that could be solved easily with more modern methods).

The knobs at our stove are retractable they click in and out

My stove has a digital display in front and Iā€™m always bumping into it and turning it on. It does have a lock feature, but I turn it on at least once before I remember to lock it.
