With todays software technology RAW should be the default (on a DSLR) and people should only shoot JPEG if they need to. However the default appears to be the other way round for most people.
fletch - I clearly don't have a full understanding of RAW, but that will hopefully come with time.

I've only recently started shooting in RAW (long story). Since I'm on pretty steep RAW learning curve, I have a question:

Assuming that the dynamic range of a photo falls within what JPEG can handle, and assuming that I get all technical aspects of the photo (WB, exposure, etc) perfectly correct, will there be any noticeable difference if I took the photo in RAW v. JPEG?
