If people commented that it is the photographer that maketh the picture, then why would the lens take centre stage?
No doubt, lens helped the photographer to capture the image and better lens make life much easier. Imagine low light situation, would you take at 5.6 at telephoto or 2.8?
Still the kits lens has its uses and one of those uses is to teach you the limits of the lens and force you to think what you want to do with your images and hence understand what kinds of lens you need.
My favourite kit lens is the 18-70mm that comes with the D70. it is light and sharp and has construction that is way better than the kit lens that shipped with the latest consumer DSLR.
