Having used both paper and electronic tools for VFR navigation, I came to the conclusion that old school flight preparation on a paper map, with manual route development, safe altitude identification, plan B consideration results into more enjoyable, properly conducted flight. Looking for and observing interesting landmarks, understanding and getting an impression of local geography details is big part of reward that flying gives me. Not saying this is not achievable with electronic tools, though selling point of most of them is to exactly “automate” flight planning and navigation and this is exactly how most of people that I know use it.
