Heard a debate at the trailhead about 'buy it for life' gear

One guy was swearing by his 20-year-old canvas tent, saying new stuff is all junk. Another said modern materials are lighter and just as tough if you buy smart. Made me wonder if we overvalue old-school durability versus current tech. What's your take on the 'buy it for life' idea for camping gear now?
