How do you like it? I was hoping a community as sufficiently nerdy as the ttrpg community would have made an open source alternative by now but it looks like selfhosting proprietary software with a modding platform is as close as we can get.

Not a fan of 2d tabletop platforms.
They are very much easier to use, easier to understand (sometimes) and have a wider variety of plugins/features that allow you to use modules right in the software. So, there is that bonus to them.
Personally, I like building 3d tabletops. I use to use Tabletop Simulator and building the maps in Unity together before switching over to Talespire entirely which basically is a easier to use version of both. My biggest criticism of Talespire over Tabletop Simulator is that there is no workshop. At the same time it is far, far quicker to build a map in Talespire for DnD, VtM or other "pen-and-paper" style games.
For Warhammer Tabletop Sim just can't be beat. Had a blast on there playing some 40k and I don't have to deal with insufferable nerds at my LGS.
One of the maps I built in Talespire. Some details are missing as this was taken in progress while building.
As much as I love tabletop simulator, I can't recommend it in good conscience since the chud mods banned people from chat for mentioning they were trans because "No politics in chat"
Wait really? I've never interacted with global chat but I've seen the shit-heads that roam around there. I always just ignored it entirely.
If that's the case, I'm glad I use Talespire now. Guest edition is free as well. Only thing I use sim for now is warhammer because sadly Talespire doesn't have 40k terrain or units.
