How important is it to develop flavor while cooking?

Very. A great deal of the flavor from a dish comes from the cooking technique rather than the ingredients and seasonings used.

That's your opinion.

take a bite out of a raw onion
now take the rest and saute it until golden brown and taste that
now answer your question by yourself

No, it's a fact. Are you unaware that smoking adds flavor to food? How about the malliard reaction that happens when you brown or sear food? Carmelization?

Shit guys, i think he got us with that one

It's not. Don't listen to all these pretentious tryhards who will try to shove flavor down your throat. Saying you like a dish because "it tastes good" or "it has good flavor" is just a weak criticism because you don't know anything about food and want to appear relevant to the conversation. Flavor is just a meme.
