I think the problem here is not RAW vs JPEG but saving as JPEG with too much compression. I can see the compression artifacts here.
Working with a program like the
Gimp (which is a great tool for photo processing and is free) you can make intermediary saves using a lossless format like XCF and only commit to JPEG (at about 85 - 90% quality) at the end. That should give a result that looks great to all but the most zealous pixel-peeping.
