I think writing a little code is reasonable as PART of a balanced interview process.
As to the coding part, I have interviewed some people who seemed very together, but they could not write a simple program. I do mean simple, not some brain-cracking gauntlet of a test. Something you let them work on, in front of you, for maybe 10-15 minutes max.
