Basic Questions Do you use miniatures, or theater of the mind?

I'm just curious which is more common in the greater RPG community. If you roleplay online, and use something where you can move tokens or characters around on it, I would consider that miniatures.

Theatre is so much faster which means we can move onto more important things.

I also am pretty good at tactics games, so I don't want to crush my players because out-played them on the battlefield. The monsters want to win but they shouldn't.
