Gee, each burner on my gas stove has a control which allows me to
vary the amount of gas which is allowed out of the jet.  This gives me
much more control over the temperature of the burner than any of the
electric stoves that I've had to live with (four, to be exact).  The
ability to vary the flame isn't new, is it Snoopy?   :-)

Seriously, I suspect that the problem is not with the gas stove, but
with the user of the gas stove.

As for which type of stove is better, I prefer gas.  However if others
prefer electric (my mother does, and mothers aren't ever wrong, are
they?) then that's fine too.
