For example they removed PCI pass-through, they never updated their GPU guest drivers to support modern OpenGL, they never improved their (experimental) support for Mac OS X guests, in general the development of VirtualBox has been pretty much been completely halted over the last decade, in comparison to VMWare they practically went backwards.

I recently went from free virtualbox to a paid vmware workstation license because of some frustrations with vbox, and found that vmware is not better or worse but just frustrating in different ways (e.g. clipboard sync doesn't have a directional option and shared folders are harder to set up, but usb passthrough is much more stable). Performance is identical for various workloads as near as I can tell, except that vmware's VM displays freeze for 0.5 seconds every time you focus/unfocus one (virtualbox is seamless). If vmware went forwards compared to that, one would have to have been crazy to pay if you can just apt install virtualbox
