I have tinkered with all kinds of D&D support programs to use on my laptop, and have finally also decided on DM Genie. I now use it to both manage my own campaign, as well as create/maintain my PC's in another campaign I also play in.
It allows lots of customization; I have all of the known Forgotten Realms spells, feats, skills, etc. entered and available to be used in my campaign. I have also added lots of automation ("scripts" as the program calls them) to allow me to track the effects to monsters/PC's of spells, spell effects, conditions, etc.
And, most importantly, the developer, Janik Zikovsky, is constantly adding enhancements and fixing bugs as the users find them. He has posted updated versions every 1-2 months on a regular basis. Also, the forum on his website is one of the most useful I have found in all of the internet; I log into it several times through the day, and there is always useful discussions/help to find there.
