I know, I've owned a MTB and ridden them in the hills and trails here in SoCal.
My biggest problem with MTBs is that you have to drive an hour to ride them anywhere worthwhile. I can ride my road bike from my front door and there are endless roads I can ride around here. Not a single bit of my commute is off road so it just doesn't make sense for me to ride a heavier, slower, less-nimble bike.
