As noted in the other comments here, you are likely thinking of coil based resistive electric stoves and not induction. Induction stoves have no warm up period, change heating amounts instantly like gas stoves and have a ton of other benefits that as some who cooks most meals at home I can’t live without. I put a $100 induction hot plate on top of the “fancy” gas stove in my apartment because it is that much better for actually cooking things.

I definitely agree that cooking on a resistive electric coil is awful and will grudgingly use gas over that.
