Hi, I've been using it for quite a while, it seemed to be quite slow earlier on, but recently it's very good. Since build 126, there's no 32bit host support any more, but it also became extremely easy to get up and running. I'm currently wondering myself whether to use it for production, so far I've been doing some non-crtical stuff on it and it's been extremely good. I think once the 2010.02 release is out it will be entirely supported, so maybe you'd want to wait for that. I've no idea about management tools, one of the reasons I'm using it is that I don't want any crazy GUIs, I'm quite happy doing everything over SSH with CLI commands. You can get it to use vmware and other style disk images (vmdk, vdi etc) see vdiskadm, I've no idea what "ESX format" is, but I;m guessing it just describes the VM. I've just used the libvirt way of describing them, I dunno if that's the same or not. Hope any of this helps.
