Opinion? Other than saying here's my 2 cents, I don't see where this is 
simply opinion. Hardware has limitations. So does software. That's not 
opinion, that is simple fact!

Analogies:
 
Which is more important to conception, Male or Female?
Which is more important to making a fire? Fuel, Oxygen, ignition?

I've worked many years on both hardware and software at different levels. 
For a computer, neither will function without the other, but if push comes 
to shove, it is possible to build hardware that doesn't need software to 
work. You can't say that for software, it would just be a bunch of 
instructions sitting somewhere with nothing to do what it instructs.

This goes deeper than an opinion about which part of a computer 
product makes the most happen.
