I've always viewed humility as a strength as long as it isn't excessive to the point of being unhealthy. An unhealthy ego can't set appropriate boundaries in an abusive situation, for example.
As far as terms go, I prefer 'humble' and 'meekness' over 'humility', and view them as strengths. I think I view humility as a strength in the context of modesty. As in, what I would define as a 'proper humility' in regards to one's strengths, talents or achievements.
