RAW format allows much more flexibility in editing with much better results possible. Editing in JPEG is always a compromise. There's nothing arcane about RAW. It's actually easier to manage than typical JPEG editing, but you're right...it helps to understand the rudiments of photography (exposure, color balance, ISO, etc) if one hopes to go beyond just taking snapshots of their cat.
