Stovetop; Gas or induction?

Will keep it brief, currently have gas, sister in law just installed induction so use both regularly (they live two doors down). Here are my plus/minuses .....

GAS:
- Absolute bitch to keep clean
- Biggest gripe is that when boiling I like high heat and gas tends to just heat the outer ring of the cookware base because you need a flame too big for the pot. So you get this dead zone in the centre of the the pot when attempting to aggressively boil, I absolutely despise it for this reason

+ Knobs instead of a stupid touch interface
+ Instant control of heat (meh)

INDUCTION:

- I loathe touch interface instead of knobs, press this to turn it on, then this to select the burner then this to set temp ... just fucking sloppy and no physical feedback at all so the pressing sort of works unreliably unless you really pay attention to where you're pressing. Input lag too.
- Cookware shifts when stirring, so always two hands needed when cooking FFS

+ Dead easy to clean
+ Looks better than massive clunky gas contraption
+ Instant heat and variable burner size

Thoughts, feeling, emotions?
