We have a gas stove set up for use with propane. Having had a gas stove at the last house we lived in, I can't see a difference at all. I am NOT a fan of an electric stove simply due to the inability to regulate the heat as quickly as I'd like. When I want a hot pan, I don't want to wait for a few minutes (ok, I'm impatient) and on the other hand, when I want the heat lowered or off, I can do that immediately as well. Moving the pan is also an option. For lowering the temp, a gas/propane stove will obviously change more quickly than the electric. And hey...gas/propane work without electricity...always a nice thing to have.
