I also have one remote player in my monthly 5e game that uses FG for managing his character and it seems to work well for him.
Personally, FG never really scratched my itch. HL will much better match my needs when the community fills in the gaps in the SRD or when LWD secures a full license from WoTC.
I know that many people, myself included, often buy software without doing a trial first and also skip over all the warning and license info. But I don't know how much more obvious LWD's warning could have been. I bought HL with the 5e SRD to support HL and to help LWD show WoTC that their is money to be made on making DnD 5e content available thorugh HL and RW.

FG certainly has its strengths and short-comings. I was just offering Jeff M a possible alternative to Hero Lab. Personally, Hero Lab is a much better product for character generation than FG, but that's almost like comparing apples and oranges; they just have different foci...
