Heat pumps are so much more efficient in many climates (and the tech is improving quickly for cold temperature air-source - newer model are reportedly much better than was available even five years ago) that it's better to go for electrification. That's even before the massive efficiency loss of producing gas from electricity. Burning gas also produces NOx emissions, which is something that would be much better to avoid, especially in and around houses. The air quality improvements to electrification are potentially massive for public health.
