We are about to get a gas stove from 1948 installed and running as our primary. I'm fine with it. I'd have also been happy with an induction/electric stove. I bought what is essentially a really nice induction hot plate. I love it. The heat is FAST, and when you turn it off, the heat goes away as fast as the pan will allow. It would be easy to clean too, much easier than any other kind of cook top. And it's more efficient than gas. But gas is cool too.
