One of my blind friends told me there's some evidence that since braille is a form of literacy, people who were blind from birth and never learned braille also never developed some critical brain functions, so they're seriously limited in what kinds of jobs they can do. So if that's true, then even if you don't use braille much, learning it still helped you.
As for me, I'm partially sighted, so I learned to read print; I just need it larger and/or need to get up close to read it. So I can't contribute any first-hand knowledge or opinions on this topic.
