I shoot in RAW and postprocess in Lightroom. My really great photos need very little editing. But, there are situations when Lightroom does come in handy. I have my camera settings set very neutral (no saturation, sharpness, contrast, etc turned on other than the basics). From what I've read, it's much easier to add (color, sharpness, and so on) during postprocessing rather than trying to take it out later.
That being said, there are the "purists" out there that only shoot jpeg and think shooting RAW and postprocessing is "cheating". You can work a jpeg but it's minimal compared to RAW.
hope this makes sense..
