I think they are both fundamentally important. Those who disagree tend to be mediocre developers, or inexperienced developers.

Programming without design yields unusable applications. It's like a car with a nice engine but no doors.
Design without programming also yields unusable applications. It's like a nice car with great doors but no engine.
The best designers understand the demands of programming and take them into consideration while designing. The best programmers understand the tasks that users are attempting to achieve, the overall goals of the application, and other design considerations while programming. In an ideal world, design and programming fit together seamlessly with design enhancing the functionality the programmer built and vice-versa.
