Probably both, but electric burners are definitely retarded. You basically just have to learn the settings of your particular stove because every one is going to be different so the numbers are meaningless, and then just cope with the limitations.

I think the knob is some kind of variable resistance. Mine has 11 numbers but I dont know if the resistance has 11 settings or the numbers are just for easy and you can increment it as much as you want over 360 degrees. These things work by turning the heating element on and off with the higher the heat setting the shorter the off period.

electric cooktops are ass however you might see similar things happen with a gas stove if you start at the lower temp then move higher

if you're adding room-temp or cold food to a pan (which most of the time should be preheated), it's gonna drop the temp and it'll take a bit to get back up to the heat that "4" should be cooking at, so if you crank it because it's not cooking, shit's gonna be hot when the pan heats up again.

the thinner and lighter your pan the worse it holds heat too

And that's the problem with with electric stoves, no direct heat control and no immediate feedback. With a gas stove you can turn it way up high to heat up the cold ingredients and then drop it back down to a reasonable cooking temp with immediate results. With an electric stove you have to pretty much learn every single setting on each hob, how hot they all are, how long it takes to reach that temp, and what this all means for each kind of ingredient. You will regularly have to think ahead and waste energy having multiple jobs heated to switch between for various things, it's just a complete fucking pain in the ass that requires your undivided attention.

Electric heating sounds horribly inefficient. Ever cooked something while camping? Hell, even grilled before? There's no need to put the natural resource on fire then feed it into a generator and electrical circuits to run through a metal coil that then heats your food.
Fossil fuels are a natural and renewable resource anyway so I guess it doesn't even matter.

Stove types (assuming non-shit versions of each)

Gas:
>very powerful
>instant temperature control
>works fine w/o power
>bit of a learning curve and easy to burn things if you're not careful due to high power and flames going up the sides of pots
>kind of shitty to clean but also not hard
>gas ovens are not great generally

Coil stove:
>surprisingly decent power due to direct contact with coils
>shit temperature control (coils take time to heat/cool)
>worst to clean, and looks shit even when it is
>VERY cheap

Glasstop:
>generally less heating power than coil
>equally shitty temperature control
>easy to clean in theory, but anything that spills/splatters onto a hot burner will burn/fuse on, making them actually a pain to clean
>nice looking if clean
>generally have way better ovens than coil, though not necessarily

Induction:
>similar heating power and cotrol to gas.
>easiest to clean by far as they're flat like glass tops but things don't burn on
>generally high-tier ovens
>only work with certain types of cookware (although stainless, clad, cast iron and carbon steel all work- just not aluminum or pure copper)
>some use touchscreen cintrols which nit everyone likes- I personally hate them- but there are plenty of options with conventional knobs

Honestly I think for a home appliance it's a toss up between gas and indution for me, followed by coil and then glasstop. Induction is far and away the easiest to clean, and doesn't need a gas hookup if that's an issue where you are, but doesn't work with all cookware. If you're talking commercial then gas all the way, a commercial gas stove or french top is a whle different thing.
