Four words: PDF WORKFLOW, IT WORKS!
You can still color correct images in pdf's and you can color manage everything. If you use the latest Adobe Postscript 3 rip and the latest pdf format, at least version 1.4 the workflow is very smooth. You will still get those files that you need to work on in native format, but once you start getting pdfs from clients that are ready to go, it's a thing of beauty. It flys through the system (we're using Xenith Xitron rip, latest postscript 3, proofing on epson 7600 inkjet and output directly to plate). I get a few of these babies in a row and I don't want to go back to the way it was.
In my book, the faster everything becomes pdf, the better for all of us. I consider pdfs .eps files on steroids, if created correctly, they can do anything, including leaping a few tall buildings on their way out the door to be delivered!
