Like said above its good that you can evan use it at all too many players baby there pinky and only use the other three.
I think useing the pinky lessons the load on the other three which is probably better for stuff like tendonitis(spell?)and carpel tunnel. Well this in addition to a few minutes slow warm up befor you play.
Not to mention you can hit more notes in a run when your using your pinky instead of just three fingers.
