Many people feel as you do, Jill. However, I don't slide pots around
on the cooktop, rather just move them off of one burner and onto
another. I've never had a scratch. OTOH, I've known a couple of
people who have actually broken their glass tops more than once
because of the way they handle their cookware. It's just a personal
preference.

Mine is a gas hob, stainless steel base and is very robust. I move stuff
around on it all the time

I've had it for quite a few years now and it cleans up beautifully.
