Im the opposite. I have had gas my whole life but my current place has no gas coming into it. I did have experince with the old school electric burners and those where scary as heaven but I like my glass top and its way convenient to have one less bill to pay. I also find that any difference in cost is made up for by not paying the delivery and other charges not related to gas delivery you pay every month. Outside of the winter it was the largest part of the gas bill.
