I LOVE gas, but have cooked on both before I moved to TV. I will say that when I had the choice, I would switch out the electric range for a gas in a heartbeat. Here, you can't pay me to have gas anything -- not with the gas lines in the attic and all of the lightning storms we get. It just scares me to death.

The biggest adjustment for me was being able to turn the gas down for simmering. What I've found works is to put on a back burner on low about 2 minutes before I need to simmer something and then switch burners. It just takes too long for an electric burner to cool off. And I really, really, really HATE the glass top. I find them harder to clean and they take twice as long to cool and are always too hot. (Now, remember, this is my opinion -- you may have much better luck with the stupid glass.)
