Nope, induction is better on all fronts (control, ease of cleaning, safety). And if you buy a good brand (I currently have Miele, my previous Siemens was great too), touch controls work perfectly.
I have used a lot of induction stoves and I didn't like it very much. I just called a chef friend of mine and he agrees with me as long as you get a decent stove with big burners. Anyway, you should use whatever makes you comfortable at the kitchen. The important thing is to keep cooking and having a good time doing it.
