We have a Modern Maid gas range that we installed in 1981.  It works
like a charm.  Both the stove and the oven have an electric pilot, which
avoids much of the problem with gas ovens.  The oven also has a top
broiler and is fail-safe in the sense that if the electrity fails, the
oven goes off (so in a power failure, you can't use the oven.)
The oven temperature is well regulated, which used to be a problem
with gas ovens.  My only complaint is that the gas pressure on the stove
is a little low when the oven is on, but that may be a misadjustment.

PS: In my parents house we always had an electric stove, but once I moved
into an apartment with a gas one, I was converted for good.
