I've been using dungeonfog for a few weeks now. It's interface can be quirky at times, but making maps is a breeze and it does have a virtual tabletop. Players can't move their own tokens yet, but the dm can move it and it shows on the player viewer. I don't want to say that I'm in love with it, but it's better than anything I've found so far. CC3 will probably be great for map making once I can figure it out . . . there's been a lot of rage quitting over CC3.
If you are familiar with CAD drawing CC3 is a lot like that with a not user-friendly UI. I picked it up from a Humble Bundle sale for a pretty cheap price but I've uninstalled it after a week.

Yes, I grabbed the exact same bundle and was all excited . . . and then I tried to use it. I haven't uninstalled it yet. I'll give it a few more headbangs before I uninstall.
Dungeon draft and world draft are good. I use those and wrote my own program for tokens and stuff.
Can you share your program?
Nah. Atm it's just for me to make life easier. Pretty basic. Handles initiative, status effects, maps, icons, distance and has a dice roller. Thought about buffing it up and selling it but not much demand with all the tools out there already.
I would not waste your time struggling with hard-to-handle UI features when there are products like Wonderdraft and Dungeondraft available for a very reasonable price. They have intuitive, easy to use UIs (not that there aren't some annoying quirks, but they are mostly easy to use). There are also tons of mods for the *drafts, whereas I'm pretty sure with CC3, you have to buy everything, packs, etc, directly from the manufacturer.
As for making your own tokens, that's super easy. Just go here and drag-n-drop your image. Alternatively, there is a mod for Foundry, if you use that, which will auto-make tokens for you. I don't even need Tokenstamp anymore (the site I linked above).

WOTC lies. We know that WOTC lies. WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. We know that WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. And still they lie.
Because of the above (a paraphrase from Orwell) I no longer post to the forums -- PM me if you need help or anything.
