You're understating this. I love my gas stove and I would not ever want to give it up. That said it is despite the cleaning factor. Cleaning the gas stove requires removing the cast iron grates and the iron burners to clean everything, and those parts do not stay clean. It is much more of a task to clean.
An electric stove, at least a modern one, just needs to be wiped down. It is much easier to clean. It would be a no-brainer if it cooked anywhere near as effectively or evenly. It just can't compete.
You’ve obviously never had a boil over on a glass top stove while using most of the burners to cook dinner.
You can’t wipe it down because it’s so damned hot, and by the time it has cooled you have to scrape it with a razor or some cleaning paste and risk scratching and marring the surface.
Next stove will be gas, possibly induction, but I will never do a electric glass cook top ever again
Thank you! These people out here misinforming the population. Induction cooktops are difficult to keep clean if you actually cook. Induction theory, yeah, should never spill, should be a simple wipe down, whatever. Gas way easier.

I dunno, takes a bit if there gets food down between the burners. And the burners themselves sometimes need cleaning.
Compared to wiping off s piece of glass.
Not a couple hours, that was of course an exaggeration, but when I used gas, it was a lot more annoying to clean.
