Any cook will tell you that it is much easier to control temperature with gas. You can change temp instantly as opposed to gradually with electric appliances.

Once one gets used to the immediate temp control of gas, it is difficult to go back to electric.

And gas cooktops aren’t hard to clean. We can have our entire Viking gas cooktop clean in 2-3 minutes. Of course we aren’t incredibly messy when we cook. No overflowing pots, abundance of splattering, etc. Just a minor film every once in a while.
