i agree. it depends on what your talking about. gear is not going to make you a better player or write you better songs. it’s not going to cover up for a lack of good technique. but what gear can do, is give you unique ways of expressing yourself musically. no technique is going to reproduce an envelope filter (i know one of you smartasses is going to find a youtube video of some 8 year old doing it now 
). and gear is, lets face it, a lot of fun. so nothing wrong with wanting cool pedals, imo.
