I agree. But there are situations where jpeg is called for. For
example, where the money doesn't justify shooting RAW, and you have to
produce a lot of work. My VR client doesn't want photographers
shooting RAW. The images are used low-res, time is critical, and money
is tight. But for my own work, for weddings and for all other
commercial clients, I shoot RAW exclusively. It is like having a
negative to work with. Even better. For my first 20,000 digital
frames, I never shot a jpeg. But when the job calls for jpegs, I'll
shoot jpegs. I've been surprised at the quality that's possible when
color temp is set manually and exposures are exact.
I most minded solitary time in the darkroom when I had to produce
fifty prints for a magazine article that had to ship Monday morning.
If I was playing with my own stuff, I enjoyed it. But I prefer the
computer to the chemicals for any type of work.

a list film lover.

I must be odd, I never did mind solitary time in the darkroom. I had
the photos to occupy my mind.
At to RAW vs. JPEG, my .sig over on dpreview is:
Shooting in JPEG is like taking your roll of film to the store to be
processed, and when you get your prints, throwing away the negatives.
