The heart of a view camera is its lens. Good ones exceed the cost of the view camera which is basically adjustable frames to hold film and lens. The very best made view cameras (Sinar) are machined works of art, but you don't need one to take a great photo; just like most cameras.
A big factor is the photographer; the subject he chooses, how it's composed and exposed on film. If black and white, there are several books describing the process (Zone system) developed by Ansel Adams and practiced by many others.
Point and shoot it's not.
There are some diehard photographers using view cameras but with hi-res digital backs. Look on the web.
