Well, as far as x86/x64 virtualization is concerned, QEMU in software mode
doesn't seem very compatible and is also very slow. So I'd say it's far more
useful with KVM than without.

Just because you have no use for a fast, cross-architecture dynamic binary translator that supports both user and full-system emulation, doesn't mean that the project is somehow dying or not useful. It's very disheartening as a Qemu developer seeing the project being dismissed as "dying" just because the latest buzzword is more in vogue. I currently have no use for KVM at all, yet I don't go around trashing it in public.
