If you prefer those, go for it. I like my infra tech to be about as boring and battle tested as I can get it without big negatives in flexibility.

In theory, VMs should only be needed to run different OSes on one big box. Otherwise, what should have sufficed (speaking of what I 'prefer') is a multiuser OS that does not require additional layers to ensure security and proper isolation of users and their work environments from each other. Unfortunately, looks like UNIX and its descendants could not deliver on this basic need. (I wonder if Multics had something of a better design in this regard.)
