The out-of-the-box settings yield dark, flat images, and no amount of twiddling on my part even approximates something pleasant, much less Fuji's defaults. If I could find a set of defaults for raw processing I liked, I might have stuck with it. But seriously, the out-of-the-camera JPGs are _ridiculously_ good. Sure, you're throwing away information, but I found I very rarely used that information. If I'm doing something particularly intricate, complex, or delicate I might shoot raw. For walking around the city taking snapshots? JPG is more than fine.
