I love to cook. I have used gas range in one of my previous apartments and I hated it. I have always liked to cook on electric cooktop/range. the reason is that I do not like to look at the flame. Since my childhood, I am literally scared of flames. As the previous posted mentioned, gas causes more indoor pollution. My two cents.

As someone who lives in a region of the country that has regular power outages during half of every year, gas is the way to go in my household. You can cook on a gas stove during a power outage. Not so with an electric stove. I also find it very hard not to burn things using an electric stove and they seem very prone to hot spots.
