I play both, but different music on each. I play in a rock and roll band on a 1972 Rickenbacker and at home and with friends I play my '67 Epiphone or 80-something Guild. I agree that electric and acoustic require different technique. Also, a well-set-up electric will not give you as good a set of callouses as an acoustic. Different strokes for different folks and different tools for different jobs. My $.02 worth.
