I don't know about being able to hear/feel howuch energy it's outputting but induction is a variable heat so it doesn't just turn on/off like resistive heating elements making it much much nicer. And since what's actually happening is it's heating the pot/pan directly it's a lot more efficient. I'd have both induction and gas in my dream kitchen though.
Moved from a gas range to induction and kept my gas burner outside for all the "I need flame" needs but I'm pretty privileged that I an have an outside setup. Honestly, I won't move back to a gas range after using the induction, I find it so much better for daily cooking with the quick heat up time and cleaning.
It does depend on the induction hotolate. Eg the one I have does constant variable heat from 4-10 but 1-3 use duty cycles. It's not ideal because instead of a constant simmer, it'll alternate between a slow boil and simmer even at 1 (though I haven't noticed any real cooking consequences from that yet and can fall back to my radiative heat stove if I absolutely need to avoid bursty heat (since its whole pro and con list is basically "heat changes slowly").
Yeah I have noticed most professional chefs on youtube seem to have a gas range and one or two plug in induction tops that get very well used.
