I think people appreciate this about other people, so if there's a place where it is undervalued, it's when people evaluate themselves and their opportunities for improvement.
I remember Bjarne Stroustrup saying that an important sign that a person could become a good programmer was that they could write clearly in their native (natural) language. I can't find that quote, but I did find a 2013 interview [1] in which, forced to pick three key pieces of advice for budding programmers in their early twenties, his #2 was, "Learn to communicate well, verbally and in writing."
