IDK if it's harder to make a decent playable acoustic or if acoustic players are just generally more tolerant of crappy guitars.
I literally use the same strings on my acoustics as I do on my electrics of similar scale length, so they're not really that much harder (or easier) to play. I suppose I adjust my playing style a bit switching back and forth. Can't really hide behind effects, and the dynamics are obviously different between a (completely) clean acoustic and an overdriven electric. All the notes and chords are the same, though! It's not some completely different animal. Good technique on one can and will translate with very little modification.
The OP was complaining about "playing the same old notes over and over again", and that is not a problem with the instrument, but with his skill and imagination more than anything. I mean, mindless noodling is mindless noodling whether you're plugged in or not.
