It is actually a pretty painless way to go.
Not so much, as there is evidence that the brain still functins for several minutes after decapatation.
I kinda like the way the Romans did it, you know four horses, four limbs.
Of course burning at the stake is not a lot of fun either.

Energy-efficient. Dems should love that. And, no heavy-metals cleanup issues.
How would you know?
From the time the head is chopped off and the carotid arteries are severed until the time the brain loses all blood and then loses consciousness could be five seconds. Those must be pretty painful and unpleasant seconds.
I just think it's too much of a disgusting mess. Do you have any idea how much of a mess cutting off someone's head makes? Who's supposed to clean that up?
Also, there is too much association with the horrors of the French Revolution, an historical disaster from which we are still recovering (if indeed we ever do). Bullets are cheaper, faster, and less messy. No need for fancy equipment.
But who is going to clean up the mess?
