As an aside, a few years ago a friend and I got a prototype working for real dice (packed with electronics) that broadcast the result of a roll via bluetooth. We were anticipating being able to roll dice at home, and having the results show up in a VTT. (We gave up when we realized that the patents were already locked up.)
I do agree with the desire to support "plain" 2D maps with a hand-drawn (but nevertheless high-quality) look. However, I'd still want detailed minis on that plain maps.
And I also agree that highly detailed settings encourage more tactical rollplaying and less narrative roleplaying. But I think that's also true with anything that enhances the tactical game, whether that's elaborate tabletop set pieces, or really any map & minis (compared to theater of the mine), as well as more (rather than fewer) character options.
