Even glass-covered resistance electric stovetops are better than they used to be. I'm perfectly satisfied with mine. The handful of recipes where it's useful to have an open flame can often be accomplished with a hand torch or the broiler. My next stove will be induction, but in the meantime I'm not missing gas.

What are your open flame uses that can be achieved with a grill or handheld? I would have said they are extremely few, but not really substitutable (except that in pan on any hob type is already a substitute) - wok (engulfed in flame such that it's not just bottom heated), phulka/similar breads (charred and blown up more effectively on naked flame) and I can't think what else?

One common method of roasting peppers is to do it over an open flame, but you can do it with a broiler. You can also use a torch to improve the flavor of stir fries if you don't have a high-BTU wok burner:
