You are not alone, see the following exchange on LKML, where Donenfeld immediately "disciplines" another subscriber for asking some minor question that was not 100% on topic:

Follow-up by David Miller:

That said, I like the idea of WG like I liked the idea of systemd.. but Donenfeld just seems to be another Poettering in the making.

> Big data helped New York's cops bust Bobby Shmurda
So glad Palantir helped getting Bobby Shmurda (best known for Shmoney Dance) off the streets.

The new ones are always "completely different" from the old ones.. until someone digs up old articles that say the same thing about the old ones.

I never tried VMF so it may be faster, sure. The thing about VBox is, like I wrote, features. VBox is basically a full-featured Virtualization-Suite, has multiple UIs and an API. It is also available on Win7,8,10/macOS/Linux and Solaris.
You may add: excellent documentation and friendly support (board, irc, list).
If I'll ever have to switch, I'd first need feature-parity.

better than Virtualbox
Just take a look at VBoxManage --help for a crazy list of settings and features that VBox has accumulated during the past ~10 years.
It even supports ATA TRIM so your fs-driver can discard blocks and keep the VDI-file deflated at all times.
Performance-wise: Compiling stuff within VBox on an i7 quad-core (-j5) is almost as fast as native. X on Linux-VMs feels native too, especially when running in fullscreen.

Bridging to a wireless interface is done differently from bridging to a wired interface, because most wireless adapters do not support promiscuous mode. All traffic has to use the MAC address of the host's wireless adapter, and therefore VirtualBox needs to replace the source MAC address in the Ethernet header of an outgoing packet to make sure the reply will be sent to the host interface. When VirtualBox sees an incoming packet with a destination IP address that belongs to one of the virtual machine adapters it replaces the destination MAC address in the Ethernet header with the VM adapter's MAC address and passes it on. VirtualBox examines ARP and DHCP packets in order to learn the IP addresses of virtual machines.

So what? Many standards originated from some particular need of one or two companies popular at that time. Look at the current IETF WGs and the authors of the drafts they produce.

> close-minded and pessimistic attitude
I would call it healthy skepticism.

You are trying too hard and thanks to your recent comparison with the capital of a country that has been / is currently governed by military dictatorship, I really can no longer take you seriously.

the US was maintaining a kill ratio of 134:1
This ratio makes no sense and would imply almost 8 million dead NVA/Vietcong combatants by the end of the war.
