I was a little bothered that the linguistic craft of code could not indeed be considered an art form. However, with the additional caveat that a true artist arrives at his art by first mastering technique; often through many, many failures, and lessons. Even DaVinci must have had to master technique first before he was publicly considered an artist. I believe, though, that the artist was always there...it was the production, the medium, and the public judgment thereafter that earned him the title. I agree with Tejesh.

Thanks -) Being a linguist (at least I'm supposed to be ;-)I cannot but agree to that. And luckily, here at Oxagile we have both or I'd better say 'all in one' - artistic developers with a wealth of practical experience. Awesome! Thanks -)
