From what I've seen baseboard electric heat is commonly found in additions where they don't want to spend the $$ to run ductwork from a forced air system.

Having lived with baseboard heat in a few apartments I hated it, the only warm spots were near the heaters and as others have said, it really impacts where and how you can set up your furniture. It's also hella expensive compared to gas.

On our recent house search I automatically ruled out anything that had baseboard heat. In warmer climates where they don't get sub-zero temps, baseboard heating might make sense but not around here.
