My view is that apart easy white balance correction, you're only going to get a noticable benefit in shooting RAW if your camera has a rubbish JPEG engine. I've shot using a RAW+JPEG recording mode and haven't found the "developed" RAW files to be any better than the JPEGs even when pixel peeping. I have a sneeking suspicion that there's this old film-based mindset which somehow needs a "magic" extra step to create a photograph. It takes all sorts I suppose
