Fisheye vs Rectilinear Lenses - Ask David Bergman

Today's question from Alec M. is, "I see that Canon just announced two new lenses, a fisheye and an ultra wide-angle. If I were going to buy one or the other, can't I just get the fisheye and then correct it in post when I want less distortion? And are there any downsides to this?"
