My real objection is generalizations like "equipment doesn't matter". For some shots it doesn't matter and for some it does. My opinion is that for a great majority it does make a difference. Better equipment is far less likely to be inappropriate for a particular photographic situation than lousy equipment.
Agreed, completely. I don't think that I've ever said "equipment doesn't matter" myself, I certainly didn't intend to. If I really thought that, I wouldn't have upgraded beyond the Canon A75 p&s I had.
I feel that equipment matters up to the point where it is not getting in the way. For some that point is really low. For others, quite high. Some people have great tolerance for work-arounds, some none.
Oh, and of course equipment matters a great to deal to bling collectors--but for reasons I'm completely uninterested in. Like I don't care about the retro look of the Fuji X100, I just know it's not for me because 35mm-e isn't a focal length that suits me much.
