I very much like VirtualBox and hope it continues to be around. However, there has been an open job posting on the site for a while now, and just after that popped up, the release cadence dropped from once a month to around once every two months. That implies things are not going as smoothly as they used to. Also, recent versions have an odd “New Cloud VM” option with only Oracle Cloud as an option. Oracle is also extremely aggressive in pushing their cloud in general, so it just seems like there could be something going on behind the scenes (like maybe a developer quit because of some things Oracle was starting to demand). This is highly speculative but seems to be a few things pointing in that type of direction.
