I do not have one but my next oven will either be that or a electric with ceramic for the cook top. My big issue is having 220 at the outlet.

I don't. We thought about it. I remember struggling to get my cookies to turn out with my gas stove. "What is wrong? I know how to make cookies."
I grew up with a gas range. When we got married, our rental house had an electric range. When we bought our house, we bought a gas range. When I complained to the Sears repairman about my cookie problem, he understood my problem immediately. He recommended gas cooktop (heat when you want it, off when you turn it off) with electric oven (more even baking) as the best of "both worlds". But I can't tell you anything by experience.

We have an old (40+ y/o) electric stove. We've replaced the top burners twice in the 29 years we've lived here, and the oven element once. The last time hubby replaced the burners, he said the wiring is getting VERY brittle, and it's the last time he thinks he can replace them.

When we first moved in, we installed a propane furnace, and asked them to put in a T for a propane gas stove "someday." So we are all set to go with gas.

But... while the idea of gas burners on top is appealing, I keep hearing how "you'll have to relearn how to bake" with a gas oven. I've only ever dealt with an electric oven.

We were in Menards the other day. There were only 2(!) electric stoves with coil burners. Are those becoming a thing of the past? The rest were either gas or the glass/ceramic top, and I don't want a ceramic top. I need to be able to put a pressure canner full of quart jars on it. I estimate that to weigh about 50 pounds...? My MIL cracked her ceramic top by dropping an 8 pound roast into the pan when it slid off the meat fork.

With the canning, I see the value in a gas cooktop! I think dual fuel might be more expensive, but probably worth it with as much baking as you do.
