AAAHHH the excellence of our game!!!!

Does having the hexes on when building maps make it easier?

I think yes & certainly if based on something. If just a regular map might leave off to do hills then switch on to add details

Definitely, I would be lost in map-making if they weren't there

OK, it would be possible, but would be much more messy.

I use hexgrid to create terrain and all important things, like roads, towns, forest boundaries etc., then when the task is to fill surfaces (ie add random bushes, fields, tall grass and other eye candy) I often turn off the grid to have a better feeling for the "aristic impression".
OTOH when playing, I have grid always turned off.
