Yep, although those old style cookers had advantages too. When I replaced mine, the new one still uses gas cylinders (not mains gas), but can't be used without electricity - the oven at least. The hob can be lit with a match. But- important when William was still here - the gas won't come through if it's not lighting. There's a safety cut off gizmo in the cooker. Genius!
I've changed to tabletop electric. Much better for my spine as it means no bending or crouching to light the oven
