Sylve looks like a decent project with a promising future but this article really doesn't explain why they picked it over Proxmox at all. They explain a lot of things but I can't see the advantage over prox other than they wanted to use it.

Bhyve doesn't feature nested virt though.

What does Sylve provide that proxmox doesn't?<p>Or better, <i>how</i> does it do it better than proxmox?<p>This isn't to say that proxmox is the best thing since sliced bread, I'm curious as to what makes sylve better, is it the API?

I love FreeBSD but Linux just provides every feature under the sun when it comes to virtualization. Do you find any missing features on bhyve ? Is bhyve reliable ? I can't imagine its been tested as thoroughly as KVM ...
