Yeah, it'd probably be mainly for retro games, as I'll go with consoles for modern games. I do find DOSbox difficult, but it's probably because I'm not accustomed to DOS itself, and not having a GUI.

I was using computers before Windows even existed... And all we had was DOS.
Be buggered if I could remember everything related to DOS from 25 years ago though, just wasnt required to retain that information.
I can still navigate and use commands related to managing disks and so on though.

VM is a much easier approach to running old games IMHO. Building a Retro PC is your best bet if you want the good old experience though, but can be   expensive sourcing old working components.

The thing is, I'm not very familiar with PCs and building them myself, so I'd be at a total loss if I wanted to build a PC from that era, and would also not know where to get the components at a fair price.
