Could I tweak some of the in-camera processing in Camera RAW, sure, but once the camera's done it in JPG, I do lose some detail. It's called "lossy".
I also save as a PSD in Photoshop with extensive use of layers, so I can go back and easily change anything I did. Like RAW, PSD is not "lossy" either. From what I understand, repeated editing of a JPG can eventually ruin the photo. Not sure how much it would take.
I make a JPG when I'm ready to send it somewhere.
Just my two cents worth. :D

I'm 100% with you on this, JPEG's straight from the camera have been processed, 'unwanted' information discarded and then compressed (lossy). RAW on the other hand has all the available information ready to be processed (developed) in computer.
