The toolset, as described by the screenshot, is inferior to existing toolsets such as MapTools - www.maptools.net , Fantasy Grounds II - www.fantasygrounds.com , Screen Monkey - www.screenmonkey.com - combined with a mapping tool such as Dunjinni - www.dunjinni.com or Campaign Cartographer - www.profantasy.com .
Obviously the WotC application will bundle everything together but the visuals just aren't that great, the dungeon reminds me of my old magnetic dungeon walls I had back in the 80's and if I have to pay a monthly fee vs. a one-time software cost for the previous apps I mentioned then the advantage of having online books and figures (that I have to purchase) negate what's already available.
WotC is a few years late on their digital initiative.
Later,
