I really hope Xen isn't but then Xen has suffered horribly from a lack of integration with the things it supports and having to apply magic patch sets to out of date kernels to get it to run. KVM doesn't have that problem on x86 at least. As to ease of use, I go into virt-manager, click new guest, select Fedora whatever and let it get on with it. In the desktop world and sense its very easy to use. When you want to do complex things like integrate it with SAN storage its a bit hairier and you run out of GUI button pressing options.
