Good point on that, BUT it's not just about the GUI. It's about an 
"easy" way to install the product and run a given app without the need 
to create/setup a VM - To me that is the benefit of the VMware player. 
However, not much of a big benefit IF QEMU is made easy to install and 
has a nice GUI along with it - IMO.
