Is it still worthwhile to learn ASM?

I know a little of it, but I haven't really used it or learned it properly because everything I learn to do in assembler I can do in 1/10th the time with some language like C or C++. So, should I really learn and use ASM? Will it do me any good professionally? Will it increase my resourcefulness? In short, would it make me a better programmer?

Note: I am talking about low-level assembly like FASM or NASM and not something like HLA (High-Level Assembler).
