In my experience (in CS, bioinformatics, and genomics), the first round of reviews often improves the paper substantially. You are getting feedback from people outside your usual peer group, and they tend to notice things people closer to you don't.
And writing is thinking. Because you are forced to iterate on the text over a long period of time, your understanding of the topic improves and you learn to express the ideas better. Your job as a scientist is creating new knowledge, and the initial publication of new results is only the first step towards that.
