You can with gnuplot (N.B. "gnu" not as in GNU), but
IMO:
1) They don't look as good and are not as efficient to
convey information which is their purpose.
- and -
2) For sufficiently advanced diagrams (e.g.,
histograms as you mention) and/or carrying too much
data it isn't possible to do.
Here are two examples I don't think I'd do as good
with ASCII:

But if you enjoy ASCII charts, I'm a happy camper that
you are a happy camper :)
