CW does seem to me to be part of the heart of ham radio but some of us

I am the poster child for that. I tried for 29 years to learn morse code,
even to the point of taking a key and oscillator on the train in the morning
and talking to myself in Morse code.

I tried every possible course that I could get my hands on and none worked
until I tried Code Quick. It was the best $50 I spent on ham radio.

The fastest test I took was 13wpm, because I have difficulty writing at the
same time I copy and can't really touch type. At my peak I could copy 35wpm.

To be honest, I no longer use it and can only copy around 10 WPM now.
