Why would anyone choose an induction hob?

In a letter to Katie Morley, consumer champion for the Telegraph, CK from London explained that her £4,000 Smeg hob doesn’t work with her Le Creuset pans. She said she was ‘furious’ because she had renovated her kitchen and had a marble worktop cut to fit it. ‘Given the price tag, I expected it to work like a dream, but instead I am having some significant performance issues with it… I feel very badly let down, and I may have to report this to trading standards’.

Why would anyone choose an induction hob over a gas stove top? It is the worst kitchen invention since electric carving knives and soda streams. These days, every rental apartment in the western world is kitted out with one, and they are almost impossible to regulate. I have screamed at them, hit them with an incompatible pan, stormed out of the kitchen, and ended up with toast for dinner instead of whatever it was I was planning to cook.
