Information Stored: XCF stores information related to the entire editing project, including layers and edits, while RAW files store raw sensor data, providing more flexibility in post-processing.

Compression: XCF files are typically compressed to save space, while RAW files are often uncompressed or minimally compressed to preserve maximum data.

I do know XCF files are typically very large relative to JPG. Like 10x larger.
