> bringing back ESXI for homelab users would be a good step too.
I agree and frankly I think it was smart VMWare had a a free tier for homelab users. It produces new users who can now more easily enter the workforce with ESXi experience they might not otherwise have.
By locking it down and jacking up prices they'll squeeze out more money now, but eventually the market will shift to whatever everyone has the most experience with, which might end up being Proxmox.
