As a big fan of the use of DnDBeyonds combat tracker I was wondering if they were still planning to continue adding new features? Not being able to add additional enemies or taking those knocked out from the log is still a thing. I really like the feature I'm just worried it has been considered done and was curious if anything about further updates has been said.
You can add and remove entries from the combat tracker since the last major update. The tracker now saves progress so at any time you want to add or remove something, just edit the encounter and save it. You can then resume the encounter with your changes.
Still using letters for multiple monsters instead of numbers is insane. No one, and I repeat no one uses letters 😡
As someone who uses letters for his minis, I can assure you that there are dozens A through L of us.
In all seriousness, letter are generally better at obfuscating the number of monsters you're using, as people generally don't have the relationship between a letter and it's numerical position memorised. If I say "Goblin 6 is attacking", the players can generally intuit that there are at least 5 other goblins somewhere, even if they can't see them. However, if I say "Goblin F is attacking", while they can tell there are likely more goblins, it won't be obvious how many (I literally had to count on my fingers to the 6th letter of the alphabet).
So there are people who use letters, such as myself, and there are benefits to it.

However, more features are totally planned.
