Yes, I meant gas stovetop (burners), which I prefer over electric for the same reasons @small_h listed. I don’t actually pay much attention to whether the oven part is fueled by gas or electricity, though I think the ranges I’ve had have been gas top and bottom.
Currently, we have a separate cooktop and a wall oven, which I guess would be OK if the oven wasn’t ridiculously small (like 16" inside–we can’t fit our roasting pan in). My preference is still a single unit. Our kitchen designer’s plan for the renovation has the range as part of the middle island.
