  I've never used induction, but electric is horrible. It takes a lot longer to heat things up, for one.

  Electric (non-induction) is awful. Slow to heat up. Impossible to rapidly cool either for cooking or to make the stovetop safe to touch/sit things on after cooking. Constantly worrying about "is the burner still hot, will I/a guest accidentally touch it". Induction can be nice, but I now have to pay careful attention to any cooking vessel I buy until the end of time and ensure that it's compatible. I also would need to run a new 220V outlet along an exterior wall to my kitchen, expand my breaker box (which has been full for a while and is approaching full of half-height breakers), and so on. Not worth it to me. Gas is simple and reliable. It's instant on, instant off, and works in a power outage so long as I have matches around. I turn on my exhaust fan when I'm using it and have air filters in my house to catch other particulates. I just replaced my gas stove this year - with another gas stove.
