I've done Nanowrimo on several occasions, beaten the goal twice. One can learn a lot that way, but for the most part I've only learnt "if I have to churn out 1,700 words a day, I write crap".
I suspect the major benefit of finishing NaNoWriMo is realizing that writing a novel is actually possible, for you. That it's not some impossibly huge and daunting project that you could never really pull off--you can do it in a month, even.
