Same here.  If I'm shooting an event with quick turnaround, I only shoot
jpeg.

I get more shots faster, and most of the time, the camera's processing is
quite adequate.

In fact in that LightRoom update, I think there was some problems with raw
conversion.  I had some high ISO shots that were faulty in Raw, and looked
better in the Jpeg version.
