I grew up on Rifts, WoD, Warhammer Fantasy RPG and HERO - I've always disliked using minis and having a fancy board setup... but electronic tracking systems have changed that somewhat. I dislike the WH40k-esque cone area of effect measuring systems and similar components but being able to use virtual boards to set up encounters you didn't see the party getting into on the fly is quite a bit more attractive to me. As an improvisational DM I still prefer verbally describing scenes but I can understand the benefit in moving over to these virtual systems.
