Pro? Not me, I'm still learning the many paths of tweaking in PS. I'm a draftsman by day. The philosophy at work I mentioned has to do with never deleting anything you have spent time drawing/detailing, that have been superseded by design modifications or revisions until the job is well and truly over.

In the past I didn't keep my original edits, just the resultant .tiff or .jpg, and have gone back and tried to recreate the feel of the original without success. That's when I started keeping the original un-flattened .psd file. Simple edits are where Lightroom shines. But for me a simple edit or a complex edit only differ in extra time invested and the number of layers and masks I use.
