Yeah gliding is great. I started at 15 before I was even allowed to take driving lessons.

I did some GA motor flying lessons since but never really liked it. It's so incredibly noisy and do procedural. Gliding is much more seat of the pants and it's a sport to stay up as long as possible.

Also the low speeds and air brakes/spoilers make landing a breeze even out of field.

If I pick up flying again (I moved recently so I couldn't stay in the club) it'll be gliding for sure.
