> Even with the brand new electric (not induction) stove, it's still significantly inferior to the 25+ year-old gas stove.
Electric stoves vary a ton in quality. The flat top glass ones can be pretty great (and very easy to clean). The cheapest electric stoves are pretty terrible.
I guess the same could be said for gas, as some people are happy moving to (non induction) electric. But if your gas stove was holding up for >25 years, it was probably not the cheapest model they could get at the time.

That's definitely true. And the used resistive stove that replaced it was being sold on eBay for USD$250 around that same time. Which says that it likely was the cheapest model they could find.
Even with the new resistive stove, which was, at least, new, things are better. But still doesn't provide the quality of cooking (and consequently, eating) experience that the gas stove did.
I suppose some might recommend that I replace it with an induction stove, but that would violate the terms of my lease.
