Do Dropouts really matter?

I am wondering what makes a forged steel dropout nice, or not nice as far as ride quality and performance go. Is a Suntour GT going to deliver a different ride than a Campagnolo? I assume they're made of different materials depending on the maker and vintage. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Is there even a way to know since it's extremely unlikely that any gets to ride identical frames with different dropouts. Thanks for your thoughts.
