One hand or two?

I recently got my PPL after what seemed like an eternity! During the checkride, I was being watched by a person other than my CFI and I was a bit nervous, especially as he wanted me to use only one had (my left - I am right handed) on the controls for the whole 1.8hour flight. My CFI had allowed me to use two hands except for the crucial parts such as take off./landing. Is the way I was taught all along improper, ie are you supposed to use only one hand on the yoke the whole time? Or is this just another technique? Which one makes you a better pilot? Just thougth I would ask..
