Yes. My brother was a DM. He made for a very difficult player when I tried being a DM with him and a few others. He constantly halted the game, challenging rules and so forth. Slowed pace tremendously and was so frustrating.
Did he begin his gaming hobby as a DM? I feel as though starting D&D (or any tabletop roleplaying game, really) as a player is likely to result in a future DM that is more in tune with the player perspective.
