I think anyone who digs far enough into music eventually grows to love jazz. It has just done so much for music theory and improvisation. Personally I hold it in the same category that classical and Baroquial (spelling?) music are in. Not because of the similarities in sound but the knowledge one must have to compose and create them.
Also most jazz musicians I know could play chords/notes/shapes in circles around most other musicians. Technical skill is not all what an instruments about, but it certainly is one aspect of it that is to be respected.
