Personally, I used to shoot JPEG, and switched to Raw later.
The poll mostly applies to owners of cameras with a reasonable sensor size (equal to or bigger than the 4/3 sensor in Olympus DSLRs, I guess)
To me, the analogy with audio would be:
To me processing the Raw fine is like an artist going to the mastering session and deciding exactly what they want, using in-camera JPEG is like giving a mastering engineer a list of criteria (sharpness, saturation...) and hope for the best.
PS: The way you currently shoot, ie if you shot JPEG for 10 years and switched to exclusively Raw 2 years ago, tick "only Raw". I forgot the option Raw+JPEG in the poll, I suppose that you could choose between the "mostly XXX" options depending on how often you directly process the Raw file or simply use the in-camera JPEG. I also forgot the TIFF option, but I suppose that very few people shoot TIFF, for the purpose of this poll, I consider TIFF to be more similar to JPEG than to Raw.

To me, the analogy with audio would be:
- Raw: mixed nut unmastered recording
- TIFF: high def PCM (if 16 bit TIFF), standard 44/16 (if 8 bit TIFF)
- JPEG Fine: 320 kbps AAC, or with lower bitrates if you augment the compression.
