Of the three PMPs I can think of off the top of my head: one just got fired, one cannot secure a job, and the third is ineffective. My point being, it doesn't make you a better...whatever...PM, I guess. Oh, I can think of another PMP who is managing people not projects. But, there is the perception that the certification is crucial, and even if you are not going exactly for a PM-type job, it seems to help in their world.
