Electric resistance (baseboards, strip heat) makes sense for "spot heating" but not to heat a whole house. I consider a heat pump distinct from baseboard heat....
I can't speak to a large house but a small home under 1500 sq ft can be heated efficiently in most conditions here by a heat pump, and come out cheaper than gas or electric resistance. It was several years ago when I lived there, but I don't remember the bills going above what I've seen gas heat do in subsequent local homes.
I have gas heat in my current residence but keep it around 65 in the winter, augmented with two plug-in space heaters. I turn on whichever of them I'm closest to. Works fine for me, but I live alone so nobody complains about the chilly corners or hallway. Even with the heat totally turned off, the house doesn't get much colder than 56-58 on a typical winter day, but I can't bring myself to be that barbaric.
