Chamber stoves can be very useful at home as they have a more traditional approach compared to more modern chambers. The modern ones tend to be more popular.
It really depends on what you mean by "better." Electric seem to cook more evenly than gas stoves. Electric are also more popular. Gas stoves seem to be less expensive to operate over the long run and have a good performance on low heat because you can actually see and adjust the flame.
Gas stoves were the most common before electric stoves. Electric stoves came around in the 1930's. The electric stove is more common nowadays, but has yet to replace the gas stove. So to answer your question more directly: They have not replaced anything.
Electric stoves were not widely used in the 1940s as they were still being adopted by households. Gas stoves were more common during this time due to their lower cost and accessibility. The popularity of electric stoves increased in the following decades as technology improved and prices became more competitive.
Pellet stoves are wood burning stoves. They are very efficient and wood-burning is much more wallet friendly. You can choose to buy wood, which is still cheaper than fuel, or you can chop it yourself for no cost.
Pellet stoves burn small wood pellets, which are dispensed from a hopper by an auger (similar to a giant screw). Fans provide oxygen for combustion and distribute heat. Most pellet stoves are self-igniting, using an electric igniter similar to a car's cigarrete lighter.
