I'm pretty new to this but I now shoot everything RAW - I used to use the RAW + JPEG option but as my first stop is Iphoto I honestly couldn't see the difference between either image once that had done it's work (lets all remember that technically the RAW image is still a data conversion by software as I understand it). I then started using GIMP and realised that I could often improve an image just by playing with the white balance settings when I opened a RAW file with it. Although I play around with post processing I've found this bit of flexibility the most compelling reason for using RAW.
Thanks
