The rift between CS and SE is unfortunate. To use Greek terms for different kinds of knowledge, computer science is logos (reasoning from first principles). Software engineering is metis (practical, local knowledge). They complement each other. I suspect that the only reason there is such a rift in the first place is because the sources of funding for people employed in CS and SE are different. CS is funded via (predominantly) government grants. SE, clearly, is typically funded privately. Like China commenting on diplomatic rows between North and South Korea, I'll say: both sides need to learn how to work with each other.
