Yeah induction is superior to gas in all cooking applications except for stir frying, and developments are catching up to improve in that area too.
Frankly, as someone who’s had resistive electric heating cooktops for more than the last decade, even that’s fine for most cooking. A little slow to get going, but if you’re cooking a stew or a pasta sauce or frying up some sausage and bacon, the lead-time is the only difference, and it’s a miniscule amount of the total cooking time anyway.
A decent induction is a lot better than household gas for stir fries. It can dump more heat into a (flat bottomed) wok than a household gas burner and you can get proper wok hei which just isn’t possible otherwise. A home gas stove can’t dump the 3500w that some induction can.
I’ve only lived with gas or induction and the heat and controllability from a good quality modern induction stove is unbeatable until you go to commercial gear.

About time. Modern induction cooktops heat up at least as quickly as gas, and don’t put the inhabitants at risk of asthma.

As someone who has only ever used an electric stovetop in his entire 35 year life (SE USA), y’all will live. Trust me. My stir fry is fine.
