My preference for electric (although not a dealbreaker, my condo has a gas stove) is solely because they're so much easier to clean. Having an entirely flat stovetop is very relaxing.
That sounds like an induction stovetop (which is electric). Those are nice and becoming more common, but they cost more. The majority of electric stove top ranges are like this:

Not exactly flat.

Not induction, so not the same plusses, but the flat stovetop thing is nice, even for an old gas head like me.
