Induction stoves are on another level. You could sort of argue about open flame vs glass top electric... Though even then, flame had big downsides.
But induction is just superior. Almost no energy loss. No heating the air from the element. No burns from the element. Almost instant response from temp changes.
I also am back on a propane stove and am working on replacing it.
Induction stoves can heat much faster than the hottest setting on many gas stoves which gives many the impression that electric stoves are "hard to control". But then the resistive element ones have the opposite problem where the power is somewhat lower than gas. Most people don't differentiate the type of electric stove they're using, and just project a single bad experience or two to all electric stoves.
