You can do excellent work with any camera. You cannot take every picture with every camera.
There are superb photos that can be made with a cell phone. There are photos that are impossible to make with a cell phone, but easy with a DSLR.
You can replace 'cell phone' and 'DSLR' in the previous paragraph with any two of these, and it will remain true:
DSLR
cell phone
Medium format
Large format
Very large format
Digital medium format
Light-field
Scanning electron
Etc etc. Generalities are meaningless. Any one system can be the best system, depending on what you are trying to do.
It's like arguing whether a hatchet is better than a salmon.
