The only reason I shoot RAW + Jpeg is so I can check focus at 100% on cam, you need the Jpeg for this, you can't zoom in as much on RAW files as it basically just throws up a thumbnail. I'm going to process all of my images either way, so after export to PC I dump all of the jpegs - I don't even look at them anymore. It's personal preference sure, but you can recover many a so-so image processing RAW, you could be dumping images because they are over or under exposed that could be completely recoverable processing the RAW file. Also, you have much better control over the white balance, you can pretty much set this to auto and change it in post, with a Jpeg you do need to get this right on camera or it'll just give you more grief.
But the RAW Vs Jpeg arguments you might see about are pointless, nobody is right or wrong, same with the manual vs auto or semi-auto exposure controls. Find what fits you best and roll with it. Most times nobody will know the difference until you tell them.
