I shoot JPG if I'm shooting for the web, otherwise I use Capture One
and RAW always. I like having a big, fat 16 bit range of tones to
manipulate. Never met an image that didn't get better with
manipulation. (tweaking)

jpeg is better than raw because you can save more images per card.
Is that not enough reason?

RAW files take longer to load, using capture one etc adds another step to the workflow ... and even people with good eyesight can't tell the difference if they stand far enough back.

RAW is for suckers who feel the need to cling on to every last bit of pseudo-detail (a hangover from the olden days of film). In reality, jpeg is fine for all reasonable purposes - if you think you need more bits of resolution, you are fooling yourself.

8 bit good: 16 bit bad
