Every militant gas-stove evangelist that I have personally known has done an about-face after a month of using a simple countertop induction cooktop. Their expensive high-end gas ranges are literally gathering dust. The ability to have such precise and rapid control over stovetop temperature is utterly transformative in a way that almost nobody realizes yet. (To be fair, it's hard to fully capitalize on this transformation since most cookbooks are still written with primitive "set the burner to 'high'" rather than "set the burner to exact so-and-so degrees".) As for woks, that hasn't stopped China from being the largest market for induction cooktops, and they even make custom-shaped induction cooktops designed for woks.
