I think the point you make can be applied to almost any job that falls within the greater QBN community (web designers, developers, print designers, flash programmers, etc...).
Cheap technology has made it easy for anyone to get the tools, but it takes experience to realize that it's how you use them that counts.
I'm a firm believer in that motto, to the point where I actually become kind of stoked about getting more out of less. (Ex... "Man, I took an awesome picture with that shitty point-and-shoot camera!" or "Dude, can you believe I pulled off those web updates on this old laptop with Win2000 and 512mb memory?!") It gives me the feeling that I'm truly in control, and not a slave to any device. That's more of my inner geek coming out than is necessary, but I think it fits with the theme here.
My way of looking at this situation has always been to put my head down and produce the best work possible, and trust that it will get noticed/respected by the right people. So far, so good.
