I fly glow and electric and I'd like to put a couple things in perspective...
Safety:
• Starting a glow engine with the throttle maxed can be just as dangerous.
• Mis-handling of LiPos in electrics can also be dangerous.
Complexity:
• I find fuel planes simpler as far as installation goes. No soldering. No short circuits. I just hate soldering
Charging:
• Fuel planes still need to have a well-charged Rx battery, glow ignitor and any add'l batteries used at the field.
• If you fly a lot of electrics, get yourself a GP PolyCharge 4. I can charge faster than I can fly most of the time.
Here's my take on the whole thing...
With an electric, I can grab the plane, Tx and a battery (or several) and go outside and fly. When I'm done flying, I come home and simply put everything away.
When I fly glow, I usually spend the previous night charging everything up, making sure I have FUEL, extra glow plugs, fuel line, necessary tools, etc. When I'm done flying, I still have to deal with cleaning up the exterior of the plane, taking after-run precautions, emptying the fuel tanks, etc.
My next move is GAS [8D]
