This is an #engineering story. As in, the #technical is social before it is technical.
I was raised in an all-electric house. I didn't use gas stoves until I was an adult buying my own house, well past college graduation.
I was diagnosed with asthma at 12, so it's unlikely that was the cause.
The cooking preference is strong. I know lots of home cooks that get frustrated with electric. Most common reason is that it's way too "notchy" in response, and there are no easy visual cue that the "flame" is "down". Electric can blast your food I pretty darn fast if you ramp it up to max. Maximum gas flame doesn't do this.
If just one article would honor the fact that there's tons and tons of people that know how to competently and quickly cook on a gas stove, and just don't want to burn a bunch of food and risk getting humiliated when they have to use a new tool, then I think conversion would be a lot easier of a sell.
*Please* manufacturers, just write some code for an electric stove that mimics gas stove response. Make it a big selling point.
Emulate what you want to replace. This removes the "hidden" objections against electric stoves.
