RAW is the data that the senson recieves, unmodified, so no whitebalance affected, no compression etc.
Great if you want to touch up the photo afterwards in photoshop, but as has been said, for most snappers jpg is good enough.
I love using RAW, but most of my shots need to be up on the web within a few hours of getting home, so I generally use jpeg, but if I'm taking any arty photos I'll use RAW just because then I've got the greatest number of options open to me.
