As someone who uses roll20 occasionally to run skirmish-scale wargames, I have grudgingly accepted the need to use a grid or have someone else measure while I move in order to get movement distances right. What would be much preferred, however, is if there was a toggle-able option to show the actual distance on the tabletop that a token is being moved when dragging and dropping it in the main view. Alternatively, this could also be solved by allowing players to "pin" their ruler to the table, keeping it visible after they release the mouse button and thereby allowing them to move their tokens.
