Gas or Charcoal, Which is better?

An age old Question. Which is better?
Well both have there pros and cons.
Gas is easy and ready in minutes with no real clean up apart from the scraping of the grill which you would do on any grill and also the heat is so much more regulated and now with the smoker inserts you can get a smokey flavour if that is your bag baby. I love them for the conveinence.
However, There is just something about Charcoal, the smell that you just don't get from a gas grill, the smoke, the ambience, something a little romantic about using Charcoal. Maybe because of the memories that the smell of charcoal ignites in my sences that remind me of my childhood days and of my Dad cooking over a red hot grill.
Of course there is a bad point and that is the day after having to clear out the ashes, but I think that is a small price to pay.
