If your pans are taking time to heat up, you probably had resistive plates, not induction. Induction is FAST - fast to heat up, but also fast to cool down. It’s very similar to cooking on gas.
Buying an induction cooker has made cooking in apartments with shitty coils so much better, I don’t even want gas in the future anymore. We’re considering getting a cover for the range and just buying 2 more induction tops

They probably had glass-ceramic. A lot of people confuse those for induction, since they basically look the same when it’s off: a black glass plate.
When it’s on, the glass-ceramic lights up and becomes red or purple, while induction stays black.
Induction is faster than gas. I have never met anyone who prefers gas to induction after using induction for a while.
