I never touch my tiffs (scans) or raw files. They are my negatives. 
Destroying my negatives has never been an issue.

I process and print, just like I've always done even in darkroom days.

I did like the idea of non-destructive editing, but it wasn't Lightroom that 
introduced that, it was Lightzone, software that lets you process images the 
way you do in the darkroom.

Later on Lightroom came out with the same thing and hyped it up, but the 
facility was already there (and not as buggy) before Lightroom came out.

You say it is a totally different program.

What I like about Photoshop is that it has never been a totally different 
program (that, in order to use, I had to run out and by another $80 book to 
figure out how it works since it is basically undocumented as delivered).

Photoshop just works. Always has.
