We used a battlemat with dry erase and minis. Didnt have an issue. Though, as GM using VTT PDF maps is pretty sweet and effortless. I like how I can pass notes over to players etc.. Id say as GM I definitely like the VTT better, though as player im more into F2F battlemat minis and paper sheets.
So did we for many years. But our play locations in both groups got such that people would have to constantly hop up and down to see and manipulate the map; the VTT was just more practical.
