@crit@sol_hsa elucidating a little further, one thing I've never really understood in the debate of which is better is how the blatant non-linearity of the gas valve doesn't bother people.
I have never used a gas stove where the knob had a perfectly smooth gradient. There were always several pronounced steps. So you could not use the knob's position to mean anything; you had to react to the output and fine-tune.
Electric doesn't react quickly, but you can plan ahead since the dial is linear
