In high luminance situations I can see via the view finder but at low lighting I cant see DOF all that well. Also in some low angle shots I have to rely on live view which at least on my camera I don't have a good reference. Thus the calculator to estimate what I'm going to be getting out of the shot, shoot about 5-6 different aperture settings and walla. 
I'm not sitting there with a ruler or anything btw. Just eyeballing distance.
