Default Gas vs. Electric

I am curious as to whether more people prefer to cook with gas versus electric stoves as well as ovens.

I will start - I prefer to cook with gas since I find it easier and faster to adjust the temperature while cooking. I also tend to leave dishes on the stove top for a few minutes once they are done cooking..usually waiting a few minutes for roast to cool before carving it. If I do this with an electric oven I have to remember to turn it off several minutes before it is acutally finished cooking since the heat remains in the electric coils of the stove top. If I don't do that I end up with a dish that is done but the bottom is of the dish is overcooked.
