If you have all day to retake a shot till you get it right, or your aesthetic relies on errors and artifacts that are now standard phonecamera 'effects', and therefore 'desirable'... then nobody gives a fuck what you shoot.
If you need to print it, you probably want more than 8bit colour gamut.
If what you are shooting is alive, and/or you want to get the most information possible in each frame because it will never happen again, and so you CAN adjust if needed... then you shoot raw.
I know people who always shoot B&W. jpg. It's part of their aesthetic and a structure of constraints they put on themselves, presumably because they enjoy it or see it as a skill trainer. Not what I would call fun, but I have engaged in similar massochism with plenty of manual focus long telephoto... so i know the place that mindset comes from. There are things to be learned the application of artificial or aesthetic limits on your photography.
Also: oh, THIS thread again.
