As a programmer who has gone the MBA route (will be done in the Fall), I have to say it's been positive for me. Not because I can point to it on my resume and say "look what I have!" or "look what I'm getting!", it's been positive for the following reasons:

a) It's increased my ability to communicate clearly in small and large groups. b) It's given me great context regarding where IT and programming stand in the overall business model c) I've met many professionals around the area in all industries

It's contributed very much to my personal and professional growth, and I haven't even finished yet.

But should you just go get it? Only if it's right for you. Know yourself first, and what you want to do with your life. If it fits in, then go for it and it'll be a great experience.
