To answer the actual question: no, things haven't improved much since the advent of the flat-top electric stove. The glass itself is sturdier than it was, but when it turns off, it still takes forever to cool down. Edited to add: The "quick boil" feature, I haven't noticed any difference.
We have one up north and I hate it. I grew up with a gas stove/oven, and our first home in a condo was a gas stove-oven. Our current home is electric. I hate not having a pilot light, and I hate not being able to just lower the heat and -instantly- have the water stop boiling.
I tolerate electric ovens and ranges. I don't feel that I will ever actually like them.
