I agree that for desktop-style (e.g. vmware workstation) style
virtualisation, the plain QEMU+KVM package is terrible.

However, in the case of Enterprise server virtualisation, a lot your
comments relate to things that do not matter - sound, graphics, GUI, X
integration.

In the former use-case, it definitely needs significant work on the
usability front. In the later use-case, libvirt, RHEV etc all provide a
(some argue) decent interface, which removes the remaining niggles around
obscure command line options.

Which one is QEMU+KVM trying to be?

IMO it is succeeding far, far better at server workloads than desktop
usage.
