I used to be a game developer, which involves working with lots of people across different domains. I've seen no evidence that programmer art is any better than artist code. Given the choice between working with a programmer-turned-artist or an artist-turned-coder, I would almost always prefer the latter because they tend to be more aware of their deficiencies and able to accept help from others. The kind of black-and-white thinking that programmers are understandably prone to often leads to them denying the existence of their own blind spots.
