I agree that it is important. If I look through my history, http://www.somewebsite.com/index.php?id=44 will mean absolutely nothing. However if I see http://www.somewebsite.com/important-post I will likely go right to it. A nice link structure also helps search engines. I had a forum in the past that had very ugly links. I found that it took google months to search the site. When I replaced it with "fancy links," I found my site getting indexed within a couple days.
