I.e. those who have a dozen VM at most, a single "server" to host them,
and said "server" is most probably translates to a localhost. I don't
see all that as a bad thing, but each GUI has its share of limitations
once it comes to managing something in big quantities, and both GNOME
boxes and Virt Manager follow that principle.

But installing them gives you a pile of GNOME core packages by
dependency.
Thus the software in question behaves the way GNOME developers want it
to behave, and the dependent software does it too. #768376 is a fine
example of that.
Thus I have bad news for you - installing either GNOME boxes or Virt
Manager (or other GNOME stuff) made you GNOME user, but if you insist
you're not - I won't press it ;)

For the record, for me both "GNOME" and "GNOME user" does not have a
negative connotation. About the only flaw of GNOME project for me is
their abuse of Scrum software development methodology, and that's a
topic for another discussion.
