I can see both sides. There are those moments that only occur once and no matter how much you look at your screen it isn't coming again for a do over. However, for static objects that aren't going anywhere... and when using a rangefinder, I'd rather check to make sure I got what I wanted within my framelines. With an SLR, it isn't as necesarry. It's about composition for me, not exposure.
I think there is some serious ego stuff going on with the "I never chimp crowd" ... like it is technically inferior to do so. However, the other side of the coin is that this crowd is also always ready for the next shot instead of just viewing the last one.
To me, there is no set rule... use what works for you. While in action, I don't chimp... when making photos of static objects, I chimp.
