		 Definately can't beat a good gas range.  My parents have a glass-top amana gas range.  It's awesome.  Easy clean-up rocks. 
 
I have been living in apartments for the last few years, which means that I've been stuck in electric hell.  I love gas--you just can't beat the control of real fire, and you don't have the 30% line loss of electricity.   
 
The heat output is very dependant on the range.  I have one element on my current range that throws off a tremendous amount of heat.  It boils water really quickly.  It takes 5-10 minutes to cool off, though.  One of my friends actually had a gas range in his apartment, but all of the burners were really tiny.  It took forever to heat enything up.   
 
Basically, you need a quality gas range. I'll spend $1300 on a range, no problem. If I'm going to use it every day, I want something that doesn't suck.   
 
Shit, I'm gonna end up spending $50,000 on my kitchen when I get a house.  heh.
