Good points.  I would also suggest the addition of another quality that,
in my opinion, is as important as all but technical knowledge: good
communication skills and the ability to work well with others.  This is
the sort of thing that can make the difference between developers getting
angry and quitting (as might have happened recently), and things getting
patched back together.
