It's all personal preference really. I've cooked with induction, gas and electric and they all have pros and cons but I prefer induction personally. Induction doesn't use heat, it vibrates the pot (somehow - by magic) so the surface of the cooktop doesn't get very hot. Food doesn't burn or cook on the surface of the stove so it's super easy to clean - just wipe down the flat surface. They also have a "speed boost" or "instant boil" feature. Boiling a mid size pot of water is almost instant - maybe takes 30 seconds to a minute. A large oversize pot will still boil in a minute or two. I remember trying to cook pasta in a large pot on a gas stove and waiting 10-15 minutes for it to boil with the lid on and then the temp dropping once I added the pasta and having to wait for a minute or two for it to boil again. plus all those removable burners to clean. Lol. This is just my opinion of course, I'm sure some people will say that induction is awful and gas is the way to go. Each to his own really. Everything takes getting used to and eventually becomes relative anyway.
