While I do love KVM, it takes a lot more to get running properly than installing Virtualbox and Vagrant and being up and running with a whole ecosystem of every type of prebuilt box you could imagine.

Yep, the last time I tried to get a KVM machine going I had to hack XML files to get the correct SCSI controller just so I could mount an ISO. It's 3 clicks in VirtualBox.
That's not KVM that's libvirt which uses the XML files. KVM can be configured entirely from command line parameters.
virt-manager makes it much easier
