People seem to be missing the main purpose of RAW: Dynamic range. RAW doesn't give you license to be lazy with your exposure. It gives you latitude in the image to pull back blown highlights and crushed shadows. JPEGS discard highlight and shadow information. RAW allows you to shoot a scene with loads of dynamic range without using graduated ND filters etc. Sky and cloud detail that would otherwise be blown out and white can now be pulled back in post - because the data exists, and the JPEG would've simply discarded it. You can't shoot JPEG and just 'get the exposure right in camera' because of the technical limitations of the jpeg format. JPEG inherently discards too much data to get a proper exposure in a high dynamic range scene. I haven't experimented a great deal with fuji and jpegs, but I'm not certain that having a +/- 2 variance on shadows and highlights is enough to correct for JPEG's technical limitations.
