Ha, I'm in the same boat: I just picked my first two (a couple of small grape tomatoes) yesterday.
I can't actually stomach tomatoes. I really wish I could. I test a bite from a couple every year just to check to see if my taste buds have come to their senses yet, but they always make me gag. Crazy thing is that I absolutely love ketchup, salsa, and other tomato-based products (sans V8, which is just gross).
I'm growing tomatoes as a windblock for outdoor bananas and papayas: I've got tomato cages along the perimeter of about a 30'x30' square that creates a thick wall of vegetative protection for the plants in the square that don't like our constant 20-80 MPH winds beating on them all day every day. I've got sweet corn in there now that's just coming ripe (ate the first ear yesterday), and when it's done in a couple of weeks I'm going to start planting pups there. The plan is to then put up a greenhouse around it before winter.
