I guess scene modes also help for people who don't want to spend time in Photoshop as well. They seem to do a reasonable job at adjusting levels for any given mode, in camera, so that you don't have to correct them later.
Sure, that makes sense, but after a while the once-beginner realizes the potential improvements that can be made by venturing into manual editing, and for that he should capture as much information as he can by capturing the RAW files. Some no longer bother with JPGs at all, although some of us keep both kinds. If there is a file that I'm not going to edit extensively, I just use the JPG, and if I wish to do a little more editing, I can use the RAW file.
