I find it slightly strange that there are so few first person games among the amateur games. As you note, it's a good way to avoid doing walk cycles. On the other hand, you don't get a main character to focus the game on in the same way and if I look at my own game, it clearly wouldn't have worked as a first-person game. It's all about what kind of game you want to make.
I voted "yes". I like both first, second, and third person games.
