Yeah, that (port forwarding) was annoying the first time during set up. But I haven’t had any problems since (two moves, two service providers and two new routers in that time). Plus the folks on the forum there are immensely helpful with getting it set up. One of the moderators even helped a friend and fellow GM by logging into his computer remotely and set it up for him. So the support is pretty great. None of these are issues for the player, only the GM.
I can’t speak for maptools, but file management on roll20 was cumbersome for me. It may take five steps in FG (though once the folder is created it really is drag & drop also), but it handles large amounts of files better than roll20 did for me. It was also much better organized. FG just appeals to my personal taste and organizational OCD.
