Depends on what you want to do, but for me, no. If CS comes easy to you, that just means you can push even further in the time when others are stuck on the basics. If you're only interested in doing social web apps, then maybe you shouldn't get a CS degree. Getting more than an undergraduate degree in CS can make you knowledgeable and confident enough to tackle problems others won't, or be able to see solutions that others can't.
