Perhaps I should have mentioned that I am not a member of this minority.
If I am hiring for a developer position, I consider at least a basic knowledge of complexity to be necessary. There are too many developers who are familiar with it for me to waste my time on ones that are not.
I am not speaking of "necessary" in a universal sense, since that would be nearly impossible to define and a useless concept even if we could. If we really get down to it, breathing isn't necessary...
