I am similar to TR in my taste preference. I like charcoal better.
I have both(gas/charcoal)type grills on my back deck along with a charcoal smoker. I tend to cook standard 'craptastic' dishes ( boneless/.skinless chicken breasts, burgers, cheap steaks, sausage, brats, hot dogs) on the gas grill for convenience. I also agree with RL that gas grills becomed seasoned thru use and actually develop decent smoke flavor over time. Perfect for those quick-no cleanup craptastic meal preps.
For high quality steaks, ribs, guests coming over chicken, shrimp kabobs, fish.... I use the charcoal grill.
