It's funny because while I didn't comment on the previous post about the superior burner location, I do happen to have an induction range that has the big coil in the front right. So I get to have a side in both conflicts!

Seriously though, induction is the undisputed winner. We've had this thing for years, and whatever price premium I paid to move up to a lower priced induction model was totally worth it.

That big "burner" plus my big nitrided carbon steel pan is my go-to now to start like 80% of things I cook on the stove. Not counting heating up water in the kettle daily, though. That uses the small burner behind the big one. Then there are two mediums on the left. Or maybe it's small, two large, and one XL.

Which bits on, who can say. Perhaps none of it is on, perhaps resistive touch screen controls are a bad idea on the surface that might get wet. Who can say.

Induction has just gone from "cool, but for the rich folks" to simply an undisputed king of stovetops.

Much like solar and other green technologies.

Within two weeks my gas stove and oven are getting chucked out the door. Replaced with an induction stove top and a convection/steam oven/air fryer.

Sometimes I have to go back to cooking on a ceramic or gas at someone else's house and it always annoys me how long boiling water takes.

Fast heating, wipe clean, works off clean electricity, roasts me less in the summer, doesn't care about the air coming from a window, starts the first time every time, what more could I ask for? I got this cheap plug in one and it dropkicks my installed gas stove in basically every metric.
