Am I a total commie for even considering an electric chainsaw for my next saw? Last time I stopped in our local Stihl shop, multiple workers were raving about them.

There is nothing wrong with the industrial grade electrics almost all electric line men will have 1 or 2 on their trucks or a hydraulic powered one for the larger jobs. Having to weed yourself through branches and limbs while working on a line is difficult and dangerous enough even in a man bucket . Then the prospect of yanking on a pull rope just adds another problem to an already precarious situation. I have an electric (corded though) for when I need to do some quick trimming around the house or the occasional cutting of a small log that I drug up and hadn't cut up with the gas powered saws it will slice through a 6 to 8" log before I can start 1 of the Stihls
