Nope. I did start with a MTB when I restarted cycling in 1990, thinking I would use it on and offroad. I soon realized that I needed a road bike to ride like I wanted to do. So I bought a 105 level Cannondale. The MTB, a rigid Giant Iguana was decent enough with a few inexpensive upgrades to get me started on some good singletrack riding but never was used on the road again. The Cannondale was fast and fun, but not comfortable. So a year later I got a good steel road bike that I rode for the next 18 years.
