My sister-in-law had a histogram after her last baby.
Probably the people who "chimp" have not had much experience with film photography, where chimping isn't possible, and experience is all you have to work with.

And did it come out to the right?
I still do not use the histogram. I know blasphemy to some. And as I said earlier I use chimping for flash setups mostly. It is not that I think I am that good, but it is more a case of I have learned how my camera exposes in a given situation.
