IS VMUG still worth it for home labs or is everyone switching to just using Hyper-V?

VMUG is VMware. Advantage is $200/year for pretty much all software. I used to have it but, back then they limited you to 2 CPUs.

Why pay for something that you can get completely free?
VMUG might be good if there weren't completely free options out there, but there are several free options, free options that have tons of free solution support behind them as well.
At this point investing learning on VMWare products is really only worthwhile if you are planning on working for a company who already has a heavy investment in VMWare and no planning on changing.

You don't get it for free. You get something else for free. As has KVM, Xen and other been free for years.

I was being more generic. Why pay for a hypervisor when you can get one that's completely free.

All comes down to if learning VMware specifically is important to you or if you just want good virtualization.
