I agree with Katrina's statement that it depends on what you want to spend your time doing.

I understand that RAW images do need to be edited. I did edit the RAW photos in Adobe Photoshop. But what I found is that the quality of the edited RAW did not exceed what I got straight out of the camera from the JPEG image. So I, personally, am happy enough with the quality that comes from a high quality JPEG image. And, hey, it means I save time by doing less editing, I save computer space and I have a stable image. I'm OK with that.
