Me, too.

I frequently fiddle with the white balance settings when I'm shooting 
with flash in a mixed-light environment and want to drag the shutter to 
keep ambient-lit backgrounds.  I make captures with WB=tungsten, or 
WB=fluorescent, and use the preview screen to check whether I've gelled 
the lights properly to have decent color throughout, but then shoot in 
RAW, and do white balance corrections in ACR.

In the past, the time it took to write images to the card in-camera 
sometimes backed up production, and shooting JPGs speeded things up a 
little ..... tweaking all those JPGs was time consuming, but it only 
tied up me and my computer, without causing the client too much 
distress.  But if the camera will keep up in RAW, I agree, there's no 
point to shoot JPG,
