Proxmox. ESXi client is windows only and most of KVM's clients are either linux only, cli only, or dogshit.
Proxmox is great as long as you have the mental fortitude to ignore the tickler that pops up on login if you're on community support only.

I haven't actually used Proxmox but had X11/Xquartz on macOS, following enough to manage them. You don't even need to open X manually. It gets started when there is a connection.
ssh -X user@host -- virt-manager &
apt install -y libvirt-bin virt-managerIf web works with base ESXi great! If not then I'm not interested.
I just don't work on a lot of companies in the position of needing VMWare anymore. Either they're all in on AWS or they're too small to justify the expense.
