Agreed.  Always work to your output and make sure you have to as 
few color conversions as possible.

I tend to work with lines and shapes and not much with full-color 
images.  In those cases, you have the opportunity to start in 
CMYK or RGB.  In those cases, there really is no reason not to 
use CMYK unless you're printing on something that *requires* RGB 
input.

So yes, my opinions are biased toward the type of work I do.
