Yep. Most of my bikes are steel (good steel). The aluminum frames are uncomfortable after the first thirty or so miles. But, this is the hybrid forum... and unless you go custom-build, most of the hybrid frames are aluminum, so it's moot.

*edit to add*
Not that any one metal is better than another... tubing diameter and thickness being the real difference in how a bike rides/feels. If I were building a hybrid for myself, I'd use a steel frame (Kona Rove, Surly Straggler or Cross Check, Salsa Casseroll, Soma Doublecross, etc.). The only ready-made steel hybrid that I know of is Jamis Coda.
