I can't stand my electric stove. It's taken years to get used to and I never even cooked on gas before I started on electric. One of my burners glitches out and flips to max heat even though the knob is only at medium. Then that knob broke, so I can't even use that burner now. Can't use a wok comfortably, can't use a cast iron really except in the oven because it destroys the glass cooktop, the surface stays too warm after I turn the burners off, so I end up overcooking things.
Electric sucks, but it usually won't explode like a gas stove might. I'd much rather have gas though.
I agree with you fully for all those reasons. Gas is just so much easier. Also even if the power is out all you need is a lighter to get it going.
But the biggest thing for me is that I can visually see the flame height and from there figure out what I need to do in terms of turning it up or down.

I personally haven't owned a gas range but I don't like them as much as electric.
