I had a similar situation when I was a manager, had one guy who couldn't code for shit, literally took this guy 2 or 3x longer to implement a feature from scratch, than anyone else on the team. He could trouble shoot, debug, and interact with support like no other. Got on a lot of goto meetings with customers that I didn't want to. I tried to steer him toward a support role, but when it came time to cut people, I needed coders, and had to let him go. That's my biggest regret, and part of why I never want to manage again.
