how do these differ from the old all glass top electric ranges. you needed special cookware for those. my daughter had one, fortunately she bought the insurance since she immediately dropped a pot on one and took out the burner. :)
I think it is remarkable that I have gotten along all these years with my old fashioned rotary control. if it is a little too hot, twist counter clockwise, if too cool, twist clockwise? :)

There are people in the world that still cook over outside fires with sticks.
Induction cookers heat up and cool down as fast as gas. You can bring a big pot of water to a boil WAY faster than a radiant electric element.
I have cooked on the glass top radiant stoves. It would barely boil water. I wouldn't have one if you gave me a brand new one.
If your happy doing it the old way, have at it.
