Character building, Mythweavers & Spreadsheets what's the big deal?

Mythweavers: I've heard you either love it or hate it.  Personally, I'm a fan of Mythweavers.  In the two games we are playing currently two fellow lords helped me roll up my character.  For the 3.5ed game I got a spreadsheet and for the 4e game I used mythweavers.  A month ago I went into mythweavers and copied everytihng from my 3.5ed spreadsheet into the template.  Now, with a little help from Rob (my druid expert) and the momstor manual occationally I feel much more comfortable with playing my 3.5ed character.

Is it just because of Mythweavers?  If I made the spreadsheet myself according to my own madness would I even need Mythweavers?  Who knows, really.  Mythweaves isn't always the perfect template, but the way it organizes character material for both editions makes enough sense to this newb DnD chick to make me more comfortable in my gameplay.

Some folks in our group use the DnD character builder and love all the features of it.  Some people, like myself, prefer mythweavers.  And still some barbarians continue to sacrificially murder our brethren trees all for the sake of their paper character sheets (You best not be playing a druid you savages!)  Can't we all just get a long?

I have a Math Anxiety!

So the truth is out . . . I love mythweavers because it attempts to keep me safe from having to do Math!  It's true, I become a freakish basket case when numbers are put infront of me.  Just ask Chad about trying to help me roll up a character on paper in the car.  I was such a jerk!  And yes, I blame math.
