So as a place to start and even stay in for a while, I think it's great.
Of course, you'll want to eventually have a variety of daws. protools, cubase, heck even sonar is usefull sometimes.

I think Magix Music Maker is about in the same range as Mixcraft, and is pretty much the same as far as features. I started out on that (not counting Fruityloops back in the day)... spent several versions with it until I moved on to Sonar 7PE and now 8.5PE. To be honest, I used to use a lot of other stuff with MMM but now that I have Sonar, everything I need and more is in that one program. I have shed loads of extra software that I don't use anymore because they became redundant. Hell, half my hardware is collecting dust now.
Just saying, I spent several years with entry level stuff like MMM and Mixcraft and had a legitimate need for more software because those programs are limited. With Sonar, I don't have that need, and I do a hell of a lot more than I used to, in terms of what functions I require.
I say all that to say yea, for the money entry-level programs might be good... but hell, now days you can get stuff like Cubase and Reason for free if you know how. Might as well learn on something that will have the features you need whenever you may need them.
