What are the pain points with qemu at the moment?

It's an ugly gooball.

SMP, networking, and simpler guest to host communication from shell
are most interesting missing features for me.

If it is to be more than a toy, then Windows (really generic guest) support, manageability, live migration, hotplug, etc. are all crucial.

I'd also love to have
GPU support for X and friends.

Should be easy to get by integrating spice (but that gives you a remote-optimized display, not local).
