Gas vs. Electric Oven?

I'm in the market for a new oven. Should I get the all gas range or a duel fuel with the gas top and electric oven? What's your preference?
TIA

Def gas for the cook top. Electric ovens are okay but suck if you want to broil things.
I would go all in with gas. All gas would come in handy in th e event of a power outage as in gustav.

So everybody is saying all gas, and I thought this too, however I read online that people think the electric oven cooks more evenly and holds a temperature better.

I prefer electric ovens because they hold temperature better and because when you burn gas to cook with, water vapor is created and can throw off baked goods.
As for broiling, electric ovens get touchy because they operate via thermostat and will cycle if the interior temperature gets too high. Since most of broiling is done via radiative heat transfer and not convective, the air in the oven doesn't need to be hot. Crack the door of the oven and prop it open with a ball of aluminum foil, and you can keep the temperature of the oven low enough that the element doesn't cycle and throw off your broiling.

All gas, with a convection oven option.

Electric Glass Top. Will never go back to gas.

The real answer is electric, no idea why everyone here is pro gas oven. I have a gas-gas range but it's nowhere near as expensive as the dual fuel ones. Electric ovens are industry standard for Wolf, Viking, Decor...they're better. I just bought one of those Williams-Sonoma countertop ovens to make up for my huge gas oven's inadequacies.

I like dual fuel, but you really can't go wrong with all gas.
Dual Fuel just gives you more baking control and an easier to maintain temperature.

I saw an ad in the Advocado today that Scardinas has a beast of a stove for 3,200 that would require a bit of a different venting system for a home. But it is as I said a beast. It comes with six burners, a griddle, a salamander, and two ovens
