Broadcom buying it just means it'll be gone in a few years. They like buying obsolete technology for absurd amounts to see it die.
VMWare was great in the 90s and early 00s - but by now it is just legacy stuff some larger companies are too slow to move off of. If you kow what you're doing using something else was mostly the better choice for about a decade already.
