Problem with geothermal is that it costs like 20k EUR all-in to get it installed. Regular air to air heat pumps are better for your average person because they're way cheaper, work most of the time, and also work as air conditioning.
Either way it's better than gas though. But power grids in many countries haven't been built to handle it, so the change from gas to heat pumps needs to be gradual (though I do wish it was faster).
