That silly meme has been done before, and it is false. Woodworkers do have
forums where people are just as passionate about hammers and bandsaws as
photographers are about our equipment. I'm a professional artist; I spend
a lot of time with painters and printmakers and they care deeply about
quality of brushes, paints, different types of canvas, arguments about
copper vs zinc for etching plates, etc.

The plain fact is that artists and craftsmen of all types do care about
their tools of the trade. I don't understand why that bothers so many
photographers. Its dumb, and they just need to get over it.
