For me, the benefit of RAW is exposure control. Once I've tweaked the exposure until I'm happy with it, then it's time to make a JPG (or TIFF) for further manipulation. Yes, you lose quality with a JPG, but it's progressive, not all at once. But the files need to be in a format that editing software can deal with in order to print them.
