Apart from the obvious ease of contrast/colour control in a RAW work-flow there are plenty of advantages. Just the fact that I can deal with lens CA and vignetting at the stage of RAW conversion I feel is a significant advantage over the film > scan > post process work-flow. I can also now easily modify geometric and perspective distortion in seconds as part of my work-flow which has improved the quality of my images and enabled me to shoot a lot more freely. > Good point.

If your work has burned you out then I appreciate why you might not wish to work on computers in your spare time. But to me when I'm working on images using my computer (call it what you like) to me it is simply a photographic tool at that point.
