For workstation stuff? QEMU/KVM is just fine. What you get with VMware is their "enterprise-y" features that aren't necessarily easy or available with QEMU, such as high availability, failover, backups, shared storage, software defined networking, templating, PCI / USB passthrough, etc.
The only one of those things you don't get with libvirt is SDN, the networking is fairly primitive yet.
