Question Why Shoot in RAW???

Hi

I am new to photography and I am loving it. I have head from a lot of people talking about shooting in RAW. so I switched to RAW instead of JPG. I cant see any benefits.

1) The files are too big so and it takes up a lot of space
2) I dont like the xmp files in my folders when I download the pics to my computer
3) Each company has specific RAW formats, meaning everytime I want to give my friends pictures I have taken of them straight from the camera I first have to download a olympus RAW file reader.
4) I can do the same things in photoshop and bridge to the RAW & JPG files.

I cant come up with any advantages. Please advice on how best I can take advantage of RAW files.

Thanx in advance.
