Yes, a gas dryer is better than an electric dryer. A gas dryer becomes much hotter so therefore your clothes dry faster. Also natural gas as piped to homes costs less per kilowatt-hour than the equivalent amount of household electrical power.
However the initial purchase cost of a gas dryer is much more than an electric dryer and the installation costs cost ofa gas dryer can be much higher too because it needs a piped gas supply as well as electricity.
