Looks good where? If the display isn't calibrated and profiled, what you see is science fiction. The display is a non stable device. The same set of numbers you view (and output) today should produce the same color appearance a year from now. Digital files don't age like cheese.
Look good on output? Well at that point, if it doesn't look as good as you'd like, you've spent a great deal of time and money and you're basically screwed.
Digital files are just big piles of numbers. There really is "no color" just color values. If you don't care how those values look day in and day out on your display, you just want to throw the dice and output the numbers, you don't need color management or a calibrated display.
Most people do.
