For me to get all my party to use this has to surpass, not just equal, the free current offerings.
To equal them it needs to be as good as deviant null's 4e framework for maptool in terms of handling auto rollers (I would like to see implement and critical damage fixed as well), ease of applying damage and healing and tracking of conditions. As well of tracking power usage, etc for characters.
To be better than it in any meaningful way, that is enough to be able to get my party to start subscribing to the DDi (which this better be part of with no additional fees), then it needs to use the strength of the other online tools. I would at a minimum need to be able to pull any character, any monster (both from the compendium or online monster builder) and any dungeon tile and just drop it in the tool with no extra work. Currently it takes hours to prepare adventures in maptool for this very reason and to mitigate that work would be a god send.
