VMWare FUD. Anyone moving away from it professionally? (self.sysadmin)

I've been seeing a lot of doom and gloom about VMware. The cutting of services and licensing changes of the cost of core offerings are huge issues. Is anyone planning or budgeting to change to another hypervisor? If so what?

I've kept away from VMWare most of my career. I'd personally push for something KVM/QEMU based, if possible, whether it be Proxmox, LXD, or a RHEL offering. If you are in a fully MS shop, probably Hyper-V.

I use KVM personally and have experience with hyperv too. I'm not really averse to anything.
