Personally, the most important take away point from the software craftsmanship movement [well, as I see it] is that it gets programmers to feel good about themselves, take pride in their work, and keep on improving. I am sure for many who burn nights, calories and eyepower against never-ending deluge of deadlines from incompetent managers, this is good. Now, expending real energy, effort and time agonizing over whether it is a profession, a trade or a craft? Is arguing over semantics really important? Instead of doing that, I say why not spend that energy helping out your team mates struggling with a particularly hard to trace bug or doing more data analysis for the next round of features?
