In my opinion the only advantage of a free-standing cooker is price. It is always much more expensive to buy separate hob and oven of the same quality. The only small disadvantage of separate gas hob is that control knobs are on the top panel and hence are more subjected to greasing when cooking. Electric ceramic hobs with touch control don't have this disadvantage.0

Also if you move house you can take a freestanding cooker with you, as it's not part of the kitchen.
A lot of freestanding cookers nowadays are designed to fit in with the look of a fitted kitchen.0 -
Look at "range cookers" - seem to be the "in" thing at the moment.
And seem to be getting cheaper in price0
