This really greately depends on the kind of work one does. Many people working on websites prefer developer, while people working on mobile or desktop apps prefer engineer. As someone that writes mobile apps for a living I greatly prefer engineer. I don't simply develop an app I engineer it. I do greatly think that the term developer also is looked down on in the industry by many. We do a lot more then just "develop" an app. We engineer how everything goes together, the tools to build it, the tools we use to write code. Also the title engineering usually comes with time for many. You start off as a developer, your job is mainly to write code based on another engineers design. Eventually you get good enough to do the engineering bit yourself.
