I moved to proxmox earlier this year and it quickly became a huge deal for me.
One nice thing is that I can easily create lxc containers for each service that has exactly what that service needs. Each service lives in a container that acts a lot like bare metal.
A second nice thing is it's really easy to administer everything remotely. All your machines end up accessible through the proxmox interface, and you can hop into virtual machines or lxc containers via the web.
A third thing is you can easily handle hot standby and backups through an easy UI.
Totally changed the game for me.
