Okay, that doesn't really apply to it being good for character sheets, but I like software that I can try for free. I could copy and paste more skill boxes and in a couple clicks they were placed in rows for me. I found this very useful when I was going back and forth on whether my skills should cap at 4, 6, 8, or 10 points. You take a selection of objects, tell them how many rows and columns to form, and Inkscape distributes them appropriately. This group of tools makes lining up objects dead simple. When a whole block of content moves, you notice. Manual: Input the core attributes yourself. Before I used grouping, I sometimes moved checkboxes or underlines by accident without noticing. There are two ways to start creating a monster: Quickstart: Basic stats (attributes, saving throws, hit points, armor class, etc) are calculated automatically based on monster level, role, and rank. This also makes it harder to move things by accident. So if I like my stats block but want to move it to the other side of the page, all I have to do is group the stats block and drag the whole thing around instead of moving individual sections. I can group items into a set and then treat the set as a single entity. This means it'll print more cleanly than an image of text.

It's not character sheet specific, but I've had good luck with Inkscape.
