Agreed. The only thing hybrid bikes have on MTB's is more options for racks, fenders, and other commuter accessories. I know all that stuff may be important if you are living car free, or if you commute come hell or high water, but for the sheer enjoyment of the ride, the MTB wins. Some MTB's like my Cannondale F400 do come with a few basic rack eyelets.
Road bikes are great for their sleekness and speed, but getting the fit and adjustment right is critical.
