This is still in Early access in Steam... I wonder what is good no on...
I use Dungeon Painter Studio (DPS) for all of my maps and find its very easy to use - you can knock up a quick dungeon in minutes, though detailed takes longer.
I have also created some you tube videos to help others : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxX...YOKZ3wiqQugjtQ
If you have any questions, by all means ask. If there is a demand I can take you through a demo of the software via twitch.
I make most of my maps with Illwinter Floorplan Generator I think it's quite easy and fast to use (some example maps) not as powerful as DungeonPainter but the results are good enough imo
Maybe because they have other plans:

Hello All, I am reletively new to using fantasy grounds but wanted to let you know there is a program on steam called Dungeon Painter Studios, it has an export option designed for Fantasy Grounds and is a cheaper option to most of the other paid ones listed. Hope this helps!
Bumping this for Trenloe, but with updated data.
Here’s the info for the chart entry.
Name: MapForge
Website: https://www.mapforge-software.com/
Platform/OS: Windows 7 - Windows 10, Mac OS X (no native Linux support, but can be used with WINE or Virtualbox)
Base Cost (USD): $30
Cost with recommended Add-Ons: Varies widely depending on genre and specific needs, but approx. $45-$100 (assets that allow for commercial use tend to command a higher price tag than those that are "Personal Use Only")
Description: Locally-installed application intended for creating great-looking maps quickly and easily, either from scratch, with the help of a random generator, and/or using professional content Add-Ons. 2D top-down raster image. Focuses primarily on tactical-scale battlemaps, but could also be used to create town/village maps and some area maps.
Pros: Support for layers, textures, and bitmap filter effects (e.g. drop-shadows, glows, blur, color/contrast/brightness adjustments, and bevel effects); Ten free content Add-Ons provide a great “Starter Kit”, usable without a license (low-resolution output); huge selection of additional professional content Add-Ons for sale, some of which can be used for published or commercial map projects; supports print resolution as well as VTT resolutions; artistic talent and technical skills not required.
Cons: May require as much as 4GBs of RAM for very large maps with many layers; not 64-bit, so must often be run in 32-bit compatibility mode; not intended for city maps or large-scale (e.g. continent) maps.
Examples: Dungeon, Tropical Island, more coming soon
Notes: Users can import their own (or downloaded) artwork, such as assets downloaded from the Dundjinni user forums, rpgmapshare.com, DriveThruRPG, the Roll20 Marketplace, etc.
