First thing you see from front door is kitchen?

I grew so tired of that. I just paid 120K for another remodel project that moved the kitchen to the back of the house. Now what you see when you walk in is a set of glass doors into the dining room. Off the dining room is another set of glass doors into the kitchen. It is SO much better, I almost don't begrudge the money. It was my own stupid plan after all.

As long as the kitchen is kept clean + is nicely decorated > then I would not mind if it is the first room you see upon entering the house.

Though ideally it is best overall for the kitchen to be towards the back of a home traditionally.
