Induction is far superior to gas which is far superior to electric.
Gas is problematic for a lot of reasons:
Gas has some benefits to induction, but if it was invented today very few people would use it because it's so much worse than induction.
This comment isn't to say "people who use gas are bad or in danger", it's just saying at the technical level and from a societal perspective there's no meaningful reason to use gas as your main heating element's source of power.
Key reasons people choose the stoves they choose:
"It came with the place." Unless something breaks, you use the stove you have.
Price.
My induction stove was over $1,000. I wouldn't trade it for anything, but yeah.
Compared to $300 to $500 for electric and $500 to $700 for gas (plus gas line installation if you don't have it.)
Must be nice. Mine cost a fortune and still isn’t usable.
IKEA sells a 4-zone induction cooktop for $500 in the U.S.
Granted, this is more expensive than $380 I'd have to pay for a 4-zone induction cooktop from IKEA here in Sweden, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the $3400 you had to pay.
