I use Dndbeyond to run one of my games since it is easier for players to learn and onboard into the game. However, I love creating my own homebrew and find it to be the fun part of the game for me as the DM. After creating 50+ items, 5+ feats, and 3 subclasses… I’m tired. The clunkiness is just overwhelming. It takes away the fun of the main part of the game I enjoy, creating new content. And I have to use their system for homebrew since my players all use it for their characters. I wish Wizards would put just a tiny bit of work into making it more user friendly.
Sorry for the vent.
I somehow simultaneously do things old fashioned and newfangled at the same time. I use talespire, everyone fills out a character sheet pdf that gets checked once at the start of the campaign and you just trust they aren’t putting wild shit on there throughout, and any homebrew items are shared via typing up a description and screenshoting it.
It’s like we’re literally digitally re-creating old school tabletop play before tools and apps existed.
