Numbers. Even in the most user-friend mode, D&D boils down to numbers. I have a strong aversion to numbers. There, I've said it. That makes me a bit of an anomaly, I believe, when it comes to D&D. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm in it for the plot.
D&D has always, to me, been like an "adult" version of a Choose Your Own Adventure book. The twists, the turns the plot developments and the ability to alter the course of history with my actions as a PC have always trumped stats and 'leveling up'.
In the daily grind of life, sending and receiving messages from my friendly game-master has always made my day. I try to explain it to people as having a never-ending novel, sent to me five days a week. Maybe I'm a weirdo at heart, but as someone who loves to read, why wouldn't that be the best gift ever?
So, here's to us numerically challenged D&D players!
