Ah yes, DM Genie! I have fond memories of using it, but it also had some frustrations (a bug in handling initiative when using drag/drop to reposition a combatant).

PC Gen has a GM module but I haven't used it much. It's supposed to be a combat tracker but when I last used it (years ago) it was too basic to be of much value.

MapTool doesn't have much in the way of built in capabilities, but the community has created frameworks for D&D 3.x/PF that do a lot of the work. I know there's a way to select multiple tokens on the map and then apply damage or buffs to the ones that are selected. This is nice because it's visual. But some of the frameworks can be finicky in terms of configuring properly. (There are also frameworks for Savage Worlds, WoD, and other game systems, but I don't know anything about them.)

We really need one ring to rule them all...
