Hello Kostas,
While you can get excellent images with jpegs, raw will give several things that you can't get with jpegs:
1) Higher precision. This allows you to pull more details out of shadows and highlights.
2) Greater dynamic range.
3) #1 and 2 allows for additional corrections, for example substantially different color balance.
4) Raw converters have a lot of tools for making a better image from raw data, including:
a) better algorithms for making sharper images
b) lens aberration corrections
c) saturation recovery
plus more. All these tools and ability to process the data require a more hands on approach and that takes time and experience in using those tools. Many here feel it is worth the effort (including me).
