I shoot mostly RAW, but one must avoid the temptation that often comes along with shooting RAW, and this is the idea that you can fix the color balance later and fix the exposure later, and so forth. You can, but it makes you sloppy and ultimately it will come back to haunt you. So always try for good color balance and especially correct exposure and you'll get a lot more out of your RAW photos.
Here are three photos of model Jill Day from Raw:
