> Most modern interchangeable-lens digital cameras are designed for you to shoot RAW

I don't think I agree. The photos straight off my GH4 are perfectly fine as-is, it's quite a bit of work to get the same thing out of Darktable, let alone something better. I do still shoot in RAW, for those 1% where I do want to go in manually. (The GH4 isn't great in low light.)

> I wish I’d stopped shooting RAW sooner. Trying film led to that realisation.

I mean... yeah. But don't blame the camera for your personal habits ;)
