I can tell a difference in the photos I've made with Leicas and the few times I've strayed to Canon or Fuji. There is no comparison. With the Canon vs Leica it is not only size and presence but quality. With the Fuji vs Leica it's simplicity vs unnecessary complications. It may be just me but gear does definitely make a difference - for me!
