Unless/until Xen or KVM or something else comes out with a similarly powerful and tricked out console and ease of use and (still, overall) reliability, VMware will be on my personal laptops for the rest of time. It's just too useful a tool to live without, if you are a serious computer geek who develops software, webware, does consulting, plays games, needs multiple OS's but only want to carry one box and don't want to have to reconfigure reboot to get to them.
I was a dyed-in-the-wool vmware user until quite recently, too, but the pain of keeping it running on "current" distros (read: Fedora) finally forced me to look elsewhere. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by VirtualBox if you give it a shot.
