I sympathize with this; what problems are you referring to?

The reason for “-net user” is that it allows me to run “dhclient -v
eth0” in the VM and get access to the network, which is often what I
want.

Now I don’t feel strongly about it, and indeed, I can always add “-net
user” on the command line.

Thanks,
