I certainly enjoyed it while I was learning several years ago.
I didn't continue after I had to move and didn't have an antenna that worked 
on 80M and 40M though.
it's hard to find CW ops on 20 who can or will slow right down to 5WPM and 
repeat themselves repeatedly...they are there, but often it's a bit 
intimidating trying to learn on the fly...though that is certainly the best 
method I think.
