Depends on the school and depends on the person. The same way many companies in the US assume any grad from MIT is a good engineer, there are companies who look at resumes w/ an MSc and bump them up. From personal experience, MScs are particularly well-regarded in Brazil, for instance.

My question wasn't "do companies think that an MSc is good" but rather "Have you, personally, ever noticed that a candidate with an MSc was better than a candidate with equivalent experience without an MSc".

I think we can all agree that whether a company thinks something is good is completely unrelated to whether that thing actually improves your programming ability.
