Does it sound good? Do other people like it? Do you like it? that's all that matters

I don't want to sound as rude as the guy above me, but he's right. There is a huge difference in playing. If you get an electric first, you will suffer. If you really want to get an electric, buy a cheap but decent acoustic. Learn all of your chord structures and chord changes and then once you know you have that down, switch to electric. It is much easier to play as the body is smaller, the fretboard is more accessible and the strings are more flexible. The reason I say get an acoustic first is because electric will seem much easier once you switch. However, acoustic is always a great guitar. Don't completely discard it once you get an electric. You can tweak the tone of your amp on your electric to get a similar acoustic sound, but it's not the same.

Of course! Acoustic has a more rustic, warm, traditional sounds versus an electric guitar, which has a more edgy, "rock" feel to it. Thus depending on what you are trying to convey with the music, it matters greatly. Imagine a song like a traditional Flamenco piece played with an electric guitar, or Metallica's St. Anger played on acoustic. It's great for fun, for variety, for experimentation, for the sake of interpretation--but that is the key--what are you interpreting by using one guitar over another, and what are you trying to convey? Based on that, who are you playing it for? Will they like the interpretation of the music you are trying to convey? Music being an art, it's an open ended question over which instrument to use, but it's ultimately up to the musician and the listeners.

Nope. But if its an acoustic song, you probably shouldn't overdrive your amp into a frenzy of fuzz and distortion, keep it clean and warm.

if you use an effects processor, you can even model the slight intonation imperfections that go hand in hand with most acoustics. just play.

No. It's just gives a the song a harder edge and that can be refreshing

It's not going to sound the same if that is what you are asking.
