I switched from VirtualBox to KVM at one point; as I recall a Debian
kernel upgrade broke VirtualBox and still after two weeks or so Oracle
hadn't updated their for-Debian repository with a version that
incorporated a fix. (This was the respective "stable" versions at the
time, and while I don't recall the details, the breakage made
VirtualBox useless for my use case.) I had planned to do such a
migration anyway; the breakage just somewhat forced the issue.

KVM/QEMU/virt-manager and friends perhaps aren't as streamlined for
the typical end user who just wants to quickly spin up a VM with
minimal hassle, but they are also very much more powerful if you're
willing to do a little reading. (For example, I had to do a fair bit
of digging to figure out how to get guest networking to work reliably
without turning off the host firewall.[1]) This is in line with their
respective intended usage: VirtualBox is at best a power user tool,
whereas KVM is intended for large server deployments but _can_ be used
on workstation virtualization hosts as well.
