Virtually every pro who readily admits they don’t shoot RAW 100% of the time.

We Hoggers seem to want to make a competition out of everything. Clearly, after explaining the pros and cons of RAW to even a new user, it is up to him or her to make a decision. Then to try and argue with that decision is pointless. I try very hard not to presume everyone else is either ignorant or clueless. If it works for me, how can it be wrong? For the record, yes, I use RAW.

Time for the, "I only shoot RAW and if you shoot JPEG you don't know what you are doing" snobs to come out and play.

Yes and most of the pros are laughing at them.

Me for starters!
At different times over the last five years I have re-visited RAW editing. There is no doubt that RAW can improve dynamic range, if that should prove necessary, but two JPGs at different exposures can achieve the same result just as easily. RAW editing has an extra benefit at the extremes for tone and colour editing. Well exposed photos should never need extremes,
but if you really foul up the exposure, RAW can better get you out of trouble. I dont foul up to that extent, do you?

I shoot raw 100% of the time, and every pro landscape shooter I know does the same. Other genres may differ.
