> Add all that to the fact that they don’t even care to support firefox for non-windows users bah

Might not have official support, but personally I've never had problems with Firefox on Mac using UI5.

I currently work on a UI5-app at SAP and even though we don't use odata, I honestly don't find the process of developing it all that unpleasant. I found it really quite easy to onboard (being productive within like 2 weeks), though it may have helped me that I didn't really have much relevant frontend experience beforehand.

Some decently cool stuff is happening behind the scenes though. I believe they're working on getting rid of the jQuery dependency, and typescript support is also coming (though still somewhat in its infancy).

I will agree that it's pretty slow though, and very heavy as frameworks go. You can do a good bit to make it quicker, but it will never win any speed awards in its current form.

I replaced ".de" with ".com" hoping it would then work internationally/display the information in English, but yeah it seems AEG doesn't have a US presence. That's a shame.

It doesn't really matter much as I mainly linked it as an example, but I experimented a bit with the countries and the specific model isn't on the UK site either (they have other ones with knobs there though). If you want to see the one I linked you can choose "Germany" in the "Choose your Country" page and click "Hausgeräte" (top left) followed by "Standherde" and "Standherde" again (what a weird navigation). In the filters select "Kochfeldart > Induktion". It was the first result left.

Mine does it in bursts I think (it's fairly obvious when cooking rice, as the water bubbles up periodically), but I've never had a problem with that. I can say that I don't have smoke problems with olive oil, which I believe is one that shouldn't be used with high temperatures.

That said, I'm probably an ok cook at best and I don't eat meat so I can't really say how it would work with that. However, I found that at least the gas range I used when I lived in the UK, wasn't really great for low temperatures either, as the flame tended to not self-sustain properly on low settings.

The killer feature for me personally was actually the steambake thing, as I bake bread weekly. It's not quite as good as directly spraying water into the oven, but still works really well. Obviously independent of the induction top though.

> would love to see an induction stove with a usable UI.

I bought an AEG stove last year (similar to [1], but an older model I think). Physical knobs for temperature control, no auto off on spills. Touch interface only for a few convenience features and the extra power mode, which is fine by me. I'm very happy with this stove and like cooking with it just as much as I liked gas when I had it a few years ago.

$399US is ~338€ though. Even adding in 19% VAT we'd come out at a nice round 400€, so I don't really understand the 419€, which is just a weird number from a marketing perspective as well.

That we're getting overcharged on this side of the Atlantic isn't new though, but happens with basically everything.

Mind, the ownership statistics may not be fully reflective of the ability to afford a home in Germany. There's a long rental tradition in Germany with strong tenants rights.
