I've been a licensed HAM for a while, but what actually prompted me to start learning Morse code was when I was troubleshooting some hardware that only had a blinking light to communicate back to me. Instead or print statements, I started using blinks to tell me what was happening. I realized it would be so much faster if I knew Morse code.
LICW is a great place to learn. But I also recently discovered https://morsecode.world/ and really like it.
I got my ham license before the "no code" license became a thing. I missed my "Extra" CW test by one point and never tried again, which is sorta cool, because the "Advanced" class is now gone, so I'm keeping mine.
I've got a lot of friends who are avid CW users. One friend used to do CW in his car, which is also very cool.
I learned CW with SuperMorse (on DOS). I went from no skills to passing the General/Advanced in two weeks. It was a fun and easy way to learn.
I journal a little bit about my experience here: https://owoga.com/posts/2025-03-18-learning-morse-code/
