Charcoal is a lot of time and hassle but if you enjoy spending time cooking, you can learn to do a lot of things with it.
A gas grill is NOT the same as an oven. The grill can reach much higher temperatures and give meat a good charring that is not possible under any kitchen broiler.
I use my gas grill 2-3 times per week... when I had the charcoal one, I'd use it about once every couple of weeks because the clean up was a pain and it would always involve at least an hour of work from start to finish. With gas, I have nicely grilled food on the table in 15 minutes and little clean up.
Yes the flavor may not be there but there are a lot of rubs, marinades and sauces that will get you 90% of the way there. Be creative.
