I learned on electric too. Cheap ones in fact. In fact, I never owned an acoustic. But the finger-action on an electric is easier than an acoustic and depending on the acoustic, you have to stretch more and such. A nylon string is definitely the way to go but as someone said, you'll shred your fingertips on an electrin with steel or nickel strings.
The advantage of an electric is "the bend". So much more you can do on an electric than an acoustic, but you will never get that acoustic sound if that is what you are after.
My brother in a flamenco guitarist and can just shred on an acoustic. Put an electric in his hands and he looks lost. It is all in the style you want to play.
