3x5 cards are, after all, the epitome of organization, just ask any public speaker or scientific researcher.
It isn't the 3x5 cards you are really objecting to, it is a lack of organization....
I am using Hero Lab to hold my PCs, now, since the spreadsheet I used to use has not been fully updated for many of the more recent releases, and I don't want to spend the time to do it myself.
On the other hand, Hero Lab does some very ...odd... things on their character sheet printout, and I have noidea how to personalize it to add the things I need/want it to show.
I see what you're saying. I think at a Con I'd advise a player to at least have a character sheet a GM can audit, just in case. I wouldn't be opposed to a player using the cards at the table, though, if it's his favorite method, and if I were running a recurring group at an FLGS or at home, I definitely wouldn't have a problem.
(For the record, I agree with you on HeroLab's output, too. They do not have the capability to personalize printout sheets yet, but assure us that it's coming.)
