Yeah, I there are different forms of creativity - Artistic creativity, problem-solving creativity, and so on.  If someone has a good level creativity in thinking and problem-solving, that can help a lot with programming.  I do think there's something to be said for code that does its job well and is clean and fairly easy to understand.
