TaleSpire beautiful but I've always found I actually want something simple for RPG playing which is why so many players are using tools like Roll20. In my experience not handling rules is a strength though, as someone who wants to try new RPGs and plays with homebrew the platforms that run the rules for me work against me because unless I implement every homebrew weapon, creature, etc. into the application I'm double checking every roll anyway.

I built my own entry into the VTT space with that in mind before the pandemic with Tableplop[1] when I wasn't happy with the front ends on what was available at the time. My aim is something free, solid and always online to move tokens about a map with fog of war and a simple dice roll syntax. The 2d maps have a lot of weaknesses in judging heights and especially with flying creatures but it's unbeatable for the number of existing assets and maps and for making your own with something like DungeonDraft[2] or DungeonScrawl[3]. 2d also makes it easier to draw lines on a map on the fly and will in the gaps with imagination when you need to improvize, something that does not translate to 3d very well but is the epitome of RPGs for me.
