Pretty reasonable, depending on how often real life rears it's ugly head between now and then.
I just finished up Rogue paragon paths from MP, so that leaves Warlord (and paragon paths) and feats.
Once I get the next release out, it's going to be awhile before I add any more content. I have to write a 4E tournament module due to be ran at a convention at the end of April so I'm going to be busy with that for awhile.

I hear you, actually thats the reason I asked about the time too since your sheet is one of the best chargen resources I have found but with new books coming out, it needs at least MP before I can use it for my players for a couple of things I am running. If you ever run anything in Upstate NY (well the arm of NY AKA Central NY) gimme a buzz 
I'm sure most of you know this by now, but for those who don't: the full D&Di Character Builder is released now. They haven't updated the download page to show that's it's the full version but it's there. You can download the file without being logged in (at least, you can right now) but you have to enter your D&Di login name and password inside the application in order to update from the demo version to the full version.
It supports levels 1-30 (the demo still only supports 1-3) but it has all the books and articles released to-date included in it, except for the most current magazine articles. It *does* have the Invoker and Druid previews, for instance. I assume those work in the demo mode, but since I went straight in for the full version, I don't know.
There are still some quirks and lots of typos but the sending only one page to the printer at a time bug is gone, as is the Skills list being truncated in Vista bug on the character sheet.
All in all, I'd say go for it. At the very least, the demo should be relatively easy to use for printing your level 1-3 characters now.

Still, I find charging money for it... weird, to say the least -.-
Therefore, the only option left to me is to keep using Wonko's sheet, for not everyone is willing to pay for something like that every month... Wizards' greed is incredible >__<

Just a quick note, you get a lot more than a character builder for the $5-$8 per month.Agreed I can't see paying $5-8 a month for a character builder. Save us Wonko you are our only hope
Some believe the Dungeon and Dragon issues are worth it all by themselves, and the char builder is icing on the cake.

I'm sorry to say this, because I admire the work Wonko and others have done, but the Wizards did a really good job with the character builder. I only find minor bugs when it comes to super weird stuff like armor that grants attacks. It's so good.
I fear that 3rd party developers are going to fall behind. WotC has proven already that they are updating their databases with almost no delay (compendium) after a new rulebook comes out. We can expect the same for the character builder. How in the world does Wonko want to implement the gazillions of choices coming with PHB II? I rather spend the handful of dollars and save tons of time with something that's really well done and official (!), plus the compendium and access to the magazines.
I also want to say that I think it's not a rip off. There is staff to be paid for this work, and despite all their failings, we now have something that's worth paying for.
