Earlier quoted context omitted.

The VirtualBox software (as in the UI, etc) is great, however this article/mail listing is discussing the 'vboxdrv' Linux kernel module, which is a source of a large number of bug reports to the Linux kernel project.

Maybe there are so many bug reports because so many people use it?

Maybe you should read the article to learn what he specific issue being discussed is.

I've tried vbox when I used a mac and couldn't get past the user interface. The gui severely limits what I can easily do with it, and it's just plain irritating sometimes. Now I'm back on linux and kvm/qemu, and I'm much happier. Why are people using vbox over kvm?

VBox has an extensive commandine tool suite and configuration language at least on Windows.
