When people say they don’t like electric stoves, what they are saying is that they don’t like the PROCESS of cooking on an electric stove, and hence the results are not as good

I don’t like cooking on the electric stove top because it provides uneven heating. It’s easier to clean though.
IMO it's more even in a induction stove than in a gas stove. But maybe that is due to the more expensive frying pan I had to buy.
Induction is the best of both worlds, but you do have to have induction pans. Stainless steel last a lifetime, and are not _that_ expensive, and you can also use cast iron!
What I don’t like about induction is there are no visual cues (lots of flames - low flames) and that if you tilt your pan to move things around you lose basically all your heat source
> Stainless steel last a lifetime

Yes but not the teflon coating.

That’s a non-stick pan not a stainless steel pan
It's both.
