Have something like Adobe Bridge and you can see RAW files prior to processing and Jpegs and Tiffs. Just because Jpegs are what is used as the final result most of the time doen't mean that that should be what you start with. It is a choice obviously.
Any software that can make a lot of changes to an image without user intervention doesn't seem like a good idea to me. No matter how 'intelligent' software is it can make mistakes. What if an image doesn't need sharpening at all! Again it is a choice obviously, but I like to edit/process each image with regards to what I think needs changing, if indeed anything needs changing.
And there are those that don't seem to want to do what most people do that gives great results, and seem to go out of their way to do something different which may or may not be an improvement for whatever reason. And then seem to want to convert others to their way of thinking.
It is not denying that technology can do some amazing things, as photographers we use technology all the time, but sometimes things are embraced either before they are ready, or they are 'fixing' a problem that didn't need 'fixing' for most people.
All I will say is the simple fact that if you haven't tried it you can't judge it.
