We made the jump from gas last fall - I do a lot of high heat cooking, as well as running the pressure cooker or long slow cooks for long periods and other types of heavy use and we've been very happy with it. Can sear better than my gas stove ever could, and can boil a full pot of water for pasta in less than 5 minutes on high. We use mostly cast iron and they are a dream to cook on. Obviously need to take care to not slide them around or put them down hard on the glass top, but that seems pretty intuitive. We went with an electrolux that has physical knobs - I can understand the frustration above with some sort of touch panel setup.

There is a fan noise when running (which increases as more burners and the oven are turned on), but I don't find it obtrusive. Thinner pots and pans will cause a buzzing noise, especially if there isn't food in them. Freaked me out that something was broken, but apparently that's normal. Our cast iron cookware doesn't buzz at all.

Be sure to check your circuit though - ours required 50 amps. The existing old crusty line from before we moved in was 30 amps. Not a big deal to run a new circuit up from the unfinished basement in our case, but something to check before pulling the trigger.

I understand the concern above about the electrical cost - we have solar on the house, so that didn't weigh into our decision (we made the jump to an electric dryer at the same time).

The ease of cleaning coming from our previous 5 burner gas stove is amazing. Our stovetop is also poorly vented, so it's been a notable change in heat accumulation during longer cooking, and we're getting less byproducts of combustion circulating through the house.

It's certainly got a lot more complexity than the previous unit with a gas valve did and time will tell how well it holds up and what future repairs look like. Also need to consider the ability to cook during a power outage. Wasn't a concern here as my neighborhood hasn't had a power outage since 2006 but if you are in an area where power goes out on the regular, that could be problematic.
