Actually, I consider relying on hardware virtualization the smallest advantage of all. Even if the paravirtualization approach makes sense - and in many cases it does - there is no reason to re-implement a scheduler, memory management, hardware-bug workarounds, etc.

The ultimate hypervisor is the Linux kernel and kvm is the first widely-available project to take advantage of it.
