It's also better from an environmental standpoint because it's basically a mixture of CH4 and C2H6 with enough aromatic stinky stuff added so Nose Mk.1 can detect a leak. It's very clean burning with CO2+water - and not much else - for combustion products.Gas is way, wayyyy better for fast temp changes, but I've gotten used to electric over the years. It's not terrible. I cook perfectly fine on one, but if I had a choice, I would choose gas.
Using electricity for heat means generating that electricity elsewhere and the line losses involved with getting it to the heating element.
Electric heat (be it a furnace, stove, wall heater, &c) is usually cheaper to install because you're just upsizing wires and adding circuits as opposed to running dedicated pipes, valves, and &c which aren't used for anything but natural gas.
