I remember being appalled at how good some shots from a professional at a competing college looked compared to my work (25 years ago).
I was shooting TMAX 3200 pushed a couple of stops for the college paper (which looked like gravel taped to a page at that point). He had brilliant color work.
I asked him what he shot with -- Fuji Press (100 or 400 I think), at about f8.
I did the math in my head and realized how many extra stops he had and was baffled. He just laughed...
"Well, I just use the radio slave to the strobes in the ceiling"
I then walked off mumbling about cheaters who had strobes in the ceiling while trying to figure out how to get the newspaper to pay for that...
Sometimes the easiest solution is to just bring more light...

I think it depends on what you are looking for...
The advances in high-ISO capabilities in the cameras have been accompanied by advances in optical design that allow things like 30mm f1.4 lenses.
I don't find the extremely fast lenses all that necessary, but there are a few people here who thrive on that... :-)
But it's still a trade... speed, compactness, quality, price, pick three?
