I guess it depends who you are talking about. Computer Scientists are generally great at math, but it doesn't mean they are good programmers. A good programmer has style: from how the code looks, to how it is arranged, test, regressed... to how defensive the code is to soft-failures. I've worked with spectacular computer scientists who wrote compiler kernels, but their code looked like a big pile of... well, you get it.
