Wow, looks like they've invested a lot of money into the virtual dress-up paper-doll portion of the tools. Pretty nifty if you're using the virtual game table stuff*, but my group games partly to get away from computers, so for that, my answer is pretty much no.
The online rules compendium for existing hard-copy products isn't valuable to me either, because I do a lot of my game prep when I'm away from Internet access. So, what I really want is PDFs, and I'm a little worried for that, because that competes with DDI, which is clearly supposed to be the 4E cash cow.
But I'm really feeling the pinch of lack of options in the published rules: my game world is supposed to have barbarians and druids in it, I'd like more details on playable monster races (like the always-fearsome gnome), and I'd love to see about a hundred more rituals. And the 2008 publishing schedule looks a lot lighter than I expected it would be, so I don't think it'll be until 2009 that we have that in paper (or PDF) form. So that, I guess I'm interested in.
* Or if you like playing with dolls, not that there's anything wrong with that.
