same here. When I was looking for a new laptop support for 32GB RAM was a key (no mac for me). I have 4 vms, windows with dev rig, linux with django/postgres, linux with oracle and osx. For vitalization I run VMWare Workstation patched with unlocker. The only pain comes from osx, no 3d acceleration and since upgrade to ElCaptain, there is no way to disable vsync, so it is ugly. The missing 3d support can be very annoying - you can not use "debug view hierarchy" in xcode. Saving VMs to external disk for backup. Snapshoting before any risky update/patch/whatever.
