For the record, I'm a designer, and do frontend coding. I'm not advocating everyone to be a programmer, but to deliver the best experience, you need to be in control of the design. And I don't say you need to do frontend coding (even I think you should) but just to be part of the workflow, making your work better and everyone's else easier. I taught my girlfriend to use git/github.com(how to commit, push and pull) in an afternoon, and she's not a coder or a designer. So I think quite easy to learn, specially if you have people around helping you if you get stuck. It's like saying "I'm a designer, I cannot use email, IRC or Skype", when everyone else around you are using these tools.
