Yes but its horses for courses..
There is no point having more colours than you can use and most monitors cannot display the full gamut of Adobe RGB. Such images need to be mapped anyway to a more suitable colourspace for displaying on screens.
Since a lot of apps/browsers do not support colour management, it is useful to use sRGB for images destined for the web or on-screen display. Most decent printers can use a larger gamut than this so Adobe RGB is a reasonable choice.
Personally, I always use RAW.
I output to sRGB for screen display/web.
For prints I output to Adobe RGB. It's not perfect, as editing using a monitor means that you can't actually see some of the colours that you hope to print, but it works for me.
