I've had a different experience with gas stoves... many of the standard ones can't be turned down low enough. Simmering something or just keeping it warm is a challenge because there's too much flame. Really easy to burn sauces or hard to keep them from boiling after they're done and you just want them to stay warm.

When shopping for appliances for a new house a few years ago I had to pay quite a bit extra to get a higher-end gas stove that had a dual ring of burners that could be turned down lower. In retrospect I wish I'd simply went electric.
