That's not finding what is superior. That's finding what you are comfortable using. That is two very different things. RAW is superior, it just may not be what you are comfortable using.Jeanie in the lens wrote:

For me, jpeg is superior to raw, because I don't shoot raw. In the end, I think it's up to the individual if they find, raw, jpeg or even tiff to be superior to one another.

But I know there are folks who don't do processing, and still do a good job. In the last 123 years very few photographers took control of their own processing. George Eastman came up with machines to do the developing and printing right after film took off. Except for high school and college photo classes not many amateurs or pros were working in the darkroom. Today there are more photographers taking control of their own processing than ever, but some folks still find it tedious.
