Just one note...I passed my code test and have not used it since. I am not
saying that I will never use it. I just have not had any interest in it
yet.
Does it make me a better ham haveing passed code?

Perhaps in some ways. Keep in mind that in having passed it, you now know
that you are able to learn this. Therefore should you wish to go further
with this aspect of amateur radio in the future, you will have the
confidence to tackle it and get it into usable shape. This gives you a
great advantage over those that listened to the bull about it being "too
hard" and thus were afraid to try and will probably continue to be afraid to
try.

Then there's always the "bull" of people who learned it with difficulty.
