I disagree; personally, I find adjusting a gas flame to be much more
intuitive than a rheostat controlling a coil of unknown resistance.
Also the gas burner has almost no thermal mass; if you want to stop
cooking something immediately (such as pasta that has achieved the
perfect level of doneness) on an electric, you either have to move the
pot to a spare burner or if there's none available, you need to have a
trivet handy. On a gas stove, you simply turn the knob to "off." Now
as for the oven itself, I can't say that I've noticed much difference,
although I hardly ever bake anything more complicated than a pizza
(that's the girlie's department.)

Plus, I have solar panels producing electricity
for me


Now that is an argument I can respect; while I far prefer cooking with
gas, cooking for free is a good inducement to switch.
