RAW VS JPEG

Heres a thought for all you people thinking that you should switch to RAW.
My close friend who is a keen photographer always works with raw. I work
with JPEG and think I'm generally careless and sloppy with my work. I'm
quite jealous of his more scientific approach. After not having seen him for
6 months I went round for a visit and found him quite despondent about his
photography. He had hundreds of raw images and no time to process them.
Now he avoids taking more photos until what he calls his "workload" is done.
"workload" meaning processing his raw images.

I'm still whizzing around taking loads of photos and enjoying my
photography... Just how many people that work with raw will do so for more
than 6 months before having had enough of spending endless nights in front
of a computer fidling around with raw images that did'nt need any fiddling
done to them?
