Last time I tried using it, the documentation was bad, the build
and installation process was a nightmare, it was almost impossible to
build your own kernels for it, you were stuck on 2.6.18 kernels
because it's not been ported to anything later, and there was no clear
way to debug issues with the management daemon. Oh, and ACPI didn't
work, so the host machine had its CPU pegged to the top clock rate
with no power saving features available.
KVM/qemu has few if any of these drawbacks, in my experience. Its
major failing is in the lack of a simple management solution for
creating and manipulating VMs -- but there are a number of third-party
solutions for that.
