Growing up we usedgas. Mother's home (not our childhood home) also has gas. I'm in a home that is wired for either but had electric when I moved in. We had to replace the stove and I choose to keep it electric which surprised my mom. "But gas baking is so much nicer!" And no it's not. Electric interior was much easier and nicer to use. But she didn't bake much so lol.

This is odd to me, as someone who has owned both gas and electric. Baking is pretty comparable between the two. Preheat oven, put in item for amount of time. Though, our gas oven's exhaust would really heat up the kitchen, which was not so great in the summer.

Usually when people praise gas it's about stovetop performance. As gas instantly changes temperature and lets you use things like woks. I have also heard people praise them for working in power outages just fine.

The glass top electrics are so damn easy to clean though. That alone has made them the winner for me. On the other side, every exposed coil electric I have used sucked ass and I would pick a gas well before I pick one of those.
