You have direct and immediate control of the heat just like gas, without the maintenance, cleaning, toxic byproducts and fire/explosions/gas leaks issues. And you get amazing power efficiency.

In comparison glass top is primitive. It takes forever to heat and cool down, it wastes a lot of power on heating up the environment, any spill will immediately burn and bond to the surface, you have zero control over your cooking.

If gas is a '90s sports car and induction an electric sports car, glass top is an oil tanker trying to negotiate the Suez Canal.

I also loved my induction stove for the ability to easily clean it. I can never cook pasta without it spilling over. But on an induction stove, the starchy water doesn't burn into a brown crust anymore, because the plate doesn't actually become all that hot. Made it a breeze to keep it clean and shiny.
