Personally, if I do a lot of work on a file in Photoshop, I'll definitely save as a Photoshop file, with layers and all. But those images that require this are rare for me. I save all my RAW files and JPG previews. And if for some reason I need to sell or send a finished file, TIF will be my choice. >And what sort of printer doesn't understand that jpeg is a consumer >format, not a professional one?

Especially for image one really cares about. And when you consider how many images are really in that category, saving in a format other than JPG seems silly.
