Don't think I have many non PP shots, all have some kind of work done, even if it's a trivial as straightening a horizon that I didn't notice on location.

i never use photoshop or any of that
i dunno but i guess i just think its cheating, its not a good picture unless its done all by yourself on the camera on manual settings, otherwise its not yours if you get what i mean, so yeah, never have, never will.

I disagree that doing PP is cheating. Photographers have always done it, it was just more effort in the darkroom rather than on a PC.
I read something on POTN where somebody was saying that using Autofocus was cheating too and that good photographers only shot manual, with manual focus.
Complete b****cks IMHO.

No.
Developing photos is part of photography, always has and always will be. Why is letting a camera decide your contrast, white balance, saturation etc etc doing it yourself?
Who develops your film, its them post processing! I've only shot a lomo a little so don't get the process, assuming someone else does it before you can scan...
nice nice, that'd be a massive PITA shooting sports mind 
Ok, so lets play the game, heres an original and an edit, it was shot in RAW so needed processing & I wasn't going to perch on a rock at 6am for a dull sunrise...

Where's that Pete?

Pete, that sensor needs a good clean!
Anyone who doesn't PP is not getting everything out of their photography they can, end of story! PP is the difference between a good image and a great one.
I'm also a recent convert to RAW. The CS4 RAW plug in is a fantastic bit of software which drastically reduces the time taken processing RAW images. So much so that I wouldn't even consider shooting JPEG now.

Any long exposure shot - usually over a few seconds
Looking for 182
Anyone who says that post processing is cheating, either isn't a photographer, or doesn't understand photography.
Post processing has, and always will be a part of photography.
Besides, if you shoot in RAW you should ALWAYS post process your photo. A RAW file is what it suggests, it's raw, there is no saturation, sharpening, contrast boosts that the camera adds itself. Without post processing a RAW file every image will be flat a lifeless.
Having said that, it can rescue what might otherwise be deemed a bad photo (this is a RAW out of the camera)

Think I need to learn lightroom, I've only used it for importing and tagging images, I tend to then use Photoshop for processing..
Hear, hear. Have downloaded the 30 day trial. Really impressed - provides a lot more editing options that Canon DPP (what I have typically used) and is likely to mean that I no longer need to jump to Photoshop Elements where I need / want to perform more detailed edits.
Aside from the editing functionality the Database / Catalogue functionality is completely new to me and appears very useful and user friendly. No doubt I'll be purchasing when my 30 day trial expires.
