Electric induction cooking beats gas in every conceivable way. I was a chef while in university for a while and have used gas and induction professionally. Induction heats faster, more even, has superior temperature control and zero fumes. If you can replace your unit would recommend Bluestar or Viking cooktops. My Bluestar 36” will heat a cast iron pan to red heat in under two minutes on the power burner yet melt.chocolate or make caramel without so much as a scorch on the smaller burners.

My only experience with induction is having a portable “eye”. I did not find boiling pasta to be faster at all, even on turbo.

My only experience with an induction cooktop was mixed to say the least...I certainly did not find the finess there that I have with gas.
Admittedly, I was feeling my way under the learning curve. But I was not impressed.

I will not give up my gas. Even with the power out I can still cook. These Nazis want to control you and put you in thrall to them.

Do you honestly think that the average household in the USA can afford a VIKING appliance???

My husband is a "gadget" guy and likes the idea of a electric induction stove.

I am the cook and I say no. Gas is really the best, if you go with electric you have to get a blow torch to do things like char your peppers. And when the electricity goes out my stove still works.
