I think this is too vague of a opinion on virtualization use. I think it
depends on what you're doing with it.
VirtualBox is a nice piece of software for desktop/power user use,
however, ESXi and ESX are geared more towards enterprise and business
critical use.
So, it kind of depends on what you're going to be doing with it.

Agreed - it does depend. I have little experience with Xen, VMware /
ESXi or KVM.
I do use VirtualBox on production servers running instances of WindozeXP
running mssql server for some very specific client/server apps and have
found that I can do a complete setup on a headless server remotely with
little hassle. Getting the screen resolution and mouse sorted out did
require loading the VirtualBox Guest Additions. The networking side was
also painless, the only item I struggled with was making the WinXP
server visible on the windoze client's network neighborhood - in the end
I added the WinXP server IP address to the clients lmhosts file - this
actually made a lot of sense - as now those clients that do not need the
sql server access do not even see the Linux hosted WinXP.
