I've been using this and really like it!

The experience is very dependant on the hardware, so it's much more usable with 8G ram, quad core and ssd than otherwise, but it can work on more basic specs too.

It's really nice being able to pass a VM's traffic through a VPN VM, or to completely sandbox it from the network. Also having a convenient interface for opening a PDF or web browser in a disposable VM is pretty neat.

Some things become more fiddly like attaching devices or moving files between VMs, but it depends on the use-case how much that matters.
