I would say everything is going to depend on the needs of the
photographer, and the type of shooting he/she does.
For me, the metering done by the camera does a great job. However, there
are times when the camera metering will fail you, or there is little
choice but to go full manual and the assistance of a good incident/spot
light is going to be invaluable. Consider shooting in a studio with
variable artificial lighting, or outdoors using ND filters.

I use the average reading from the meter, and then a quick calculation
to adjust for the ND filter.
