Those are the two biggest drawbacks to gas. I like using the gas cooktop, but cleaning it is a pain, and I have to be very careful positioning the small (4 inch) pan that I use a lot so it doesn’t tip over. I don’t mind the combustion by products in my kitchen because I have a half decent vent.
But every single place we’ve looked at has a free standing resistance stove and no vent. Usually there is a microwave/range hood over the stove. Whoever designs these kitchens obviously doesn’t use a kitchen. I’ve resigned myself to have to replace the stove at a minimum, and probably have to live with some kind of recirculating hood over it.
