B. I don't mind it so much
Type A
If you answered more A's than B's, there's a good chance a gas stove is better suited for you. Gas stoves are usually favored more by those who enjoy cooking and do it often. Also, a gas stove allows you to directly control the amount of heat your dish is getting as you can physically see the open flame. One downside of a gas stove is the clean up, though. Each part must be taken apart, scrubbed and put back in place which can become time consuming.
If you found yourself answering B more than A, odds are you may prefer an electric stove. Because they are a flat top surface, they are easier to clean up. It's as simple as a swipe! Electric stoves also tend to get really hot really fast. This can be a good thing if you find yourself in a rush often, but if you really like to cook and want more control over your cooking, electric may not be the best route for your kitchen.
