I thought the work and experience were all that mattered, but how different advisors manage their groups has a MASSIVE impact on your time in school. The other people in the group matter to a certain extent, but ultimately it's the advisor that sets the tone and establishes what's acceptable behavior (or not). In some ways I think Chip's interview perspective is even truer for grad school than a "normal job." When picking an advisor you're basically saying "I will spend the next 4-5 years of my life 110% commited to furthering THIS person's career." If you can't live with that idea you will absolutely run into problems.
