When I'm shooting for fun or experimenting I just use jpg. Easier to process and you definitely still get great shots. If you rely more on getting the settings and exposure right for the shot, you don't need to worry so much about the PP. I don't print much so it's not that big a deal to me.
If I'm shooting for someone else, or if I'm shooting something that is important to me, or if the lighting is tricky or is a combo of indoor and outdoor, I shoot RAW.
Just like every other hobby/profession, everyone has a little different approach and opinion and the only thing that matters is what works for you.
