Gas oven - a good idea?

We are renovating our kitchen on a shoestring. We’ve found a secondhand range cooker, but it’s all gas except for the grill, and while I’m used to a gas hob I’ve had an electric oven for the past twenty years. I enjoy cooking and baking, and I gather electric is better than gas for baking, but tbh I find our nice Bosch fan oven still cooks unevenly so I’m wondering if it’ll make much difference.

Are there any big disadvantages to having a gas oven? Also, would we need to do anything with the gas supply to replace a gas hob with a gas range? (Aside from obviously get a gas engineer to connect it - I mean will the current supply to the hob be enough to supply the whole range cooker?)

Weren’t most dual fuels gas hob and electric oven? A gas oven never has the settings of an electric one. My electric has numerous options and DDs can even convert to a steam oven. They just do more things well.

I dislike gas ovens. Uneven heat and burn the back of your pizza if its a big one.
