Has anyone ditched their hot water tank(s) in their house and replaced
it/them with a tankless water heater?

Just curious as our two 50 gallon hot water tanks are 15 years and
at/near their useful life. Replacing them does not make sense with
the advances in tankless water heater technology. Many of these
tankless water heaters are also eligible for a $300 tax credit.

I am looking at the Bosch 2400E (natural gas) which can supply 2
showers simultaneously, or so the specs say.

Any tankless water heater users out there?

As an English major, I haven't a clue as to how these devices supply a
steady stream of hot water. Please explain.

Maybe this will help:

Yeah, I know how they work. But I don't see how they supply a steady
stream of hot water, especially for an active household with several
appliances running and someone in the tub or shower.

Of course they have limitations. Unit size determines how many, and how
voluminous the stream(s) a particular unit will support.
