What is there coming up? Im trying to decide between Roll 20 and Maps currently. If Maps makes some improvements in bringing it up to Roll 20s functions, or close to it, Id like to jump on board.
Currently I have both Roll 20 Pro Subscription and DND Beyonds Subscription. Im waiting to see where im going to buy my books.
So is Maps going to improve, and if so, is there links to their timeline etc. Certain things i like about DND Beyond as far as characters, encounters etc...but the VTT has to be on point as well.
The VTT, Project Sigil, is still in Closed Beta. I haven't received an invite yet so I couldn't tell you what's better between that and Roll20. It's probably better than Maps though.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
If you play D&D casually, Beyond is fine. In my opinion, it is the most accessible and convenient out of the four official digital tools.
If you plan to do anything slightly more complicated or advanced, I would go with Roll20. Beyond is extremely limited as a system: temporary effects are not supported or are supported poorly (i.e., you have to create workarounds yourself), magic items are not easily customizable (e.g., you need to use the homebrew tools to add what properties you want to a Moonblade), homebrew tools have lots of limitations (e.g.: no homebrew classes, no homebrew mundane items, many effects are unsupported, etc.), many optional/variant and even basic RAW rules are not supported (Spell Points, super natural gifts, company positions, etc. are not supported or need significant workarounds), and third party support is probably the worst and most limited out of all the official tools.
Looking for some information on the Maps VTT.
