Depends oh whether you like to split hairs like me 
IT to me is getting systems running. Its combining hardware and integrating software together to make a workable system for a business.
Developing software is different because you're creating a specific piece of software to serve a specific function. And writing it well is very difficult. There is a big difference between writing something that'll simply work, and developing software that'll be reusable, extensible and easily modifiable.
So yeah, they cross over frequently, but they are different skillsets.
Also, I hate dealing with hardware and setup issues, which is why I call the IT guys all the time. Fix my compooter. I too stupid to fix. Actually, sw engineer support probably has to be worse than regular desk support, because we usually know just enough to get ourselves into more trouble
