I shoot all RAW. Shooting RAW gives me a sense of purpose, and a sense of belonging to a worldwide community of photographers.

I am not a professional photographer, but some of my photos have found their way into some books, newspapers and online venues. Some have been part of brochures for local organizations etc. I never know how any given photo will be purposed, so I always shoot in RAW so I am not limited on their use. I always run them through Photoshop for post processing as well. For me just seems the best approach.

For me, it always depends on the situation and intended purpose of the image. If I'm using a camera which only offers JPEG output, then JPEG it is. If I'm photographing some sort of document for my records, JPEG is adequate enough for that. If I'm capturing an image which I plan to do extensive post-processing, then I probably will opt for RAW format.
I really don't understand this "shoot RAW only" inflexible mindset some have. If I wish to take a picture of a receipt, shopping list or I need a quick reference image while I'm doing a repair, why on Earth would I want it in RAW format?!?

A highly knowledgeable photographer and teacher several years ago suggested I shoot raw and experiment with Digital Photo Pro since I have a Canon camera. For a beginner there is a bit of a learning curve but now several years later I just shoot raw. If a particular image needs to be JPEG it can be in a few seconds plus DPP returns the edited photo to the proper folder in Windows and displays it next to the unedited original. A quick crop and return to JPEG doesn't even take a minute. Now I am the finger

You'd have a job because there is no such thing!

It is RAW for me unless I'am shooting a Michigan Football Game or Basketball and even with Hockey and Baseball, then I save RAW to 1 card and Jpeg to the other card.

It really should not make any difference to you what other people choose to shoot. I do not mean to be flip or dismissive in any way. What I mean is that by now everyone knows what the relative advantages of RAW files and JPEG files. Some folks appreciate or need the extra flexibility that RAW provides, others are happy with the in camera JPEGS for their ease and speed. (Because modern sensor JPEGS are more than adequate for MOST things) If you are getting the results you want, that is all that matters.
Nothing wrong with either one. You can find accomplished photographers , both Amateur & Pro in both camps.
Sometimes it depends on the job. If you need to upload to a wire service in near real time you shoot JPEGS.
If you need the maximum possible quality your camera can produce, then shoot RAW.

I use raw + fine jpg so I can view the shots. If I have one I like I open the raw file to tweak it, and save it as a new jpg.

It obviously matters to a lot of people since you just posted on page 14 of a thread titled "JPEG vs. RAW.
Learning from what other people do is why forums on many topics exist.
Maybe even why you felt the urge to post here and add your two cents. That's a good thing.

I shoot RAW and JPEG. JPEG allows me a quicker way to display & delete the images I don't want to keep, leaving the RAW images for Post-processing.

I would posit that two photons, each shot with same camera/lens, one raw, one in jpeg, printed on same printer/paper combo, displayed on same display device, would be virtually impossible to discriminate.
Sorry for the lengthy sentence.

Raw, better PP options.

The RAW has to be edited, one (anyone) can easily edit the RAW creating a clear visual difference vs the camera's JPEG. The difference should be obvious, but there's no way to say if the photographer did a better or worse job in the editing. We'd need to two actual examples, although any two should easily and clearly disprove your assertion.
