Both tools issue a large number of Admin API calls and greatly benefit
from a cache filled with a single per-vm Admin API call
(admin.vm.property.GetAll). In case of qvm-ls, this also saves multiple
admin.vm.CurrentState calls (power state is given in the admin.vm.List
response too).

QubesException class is used with meaningful messages and should be ok
to use it directly as error message. For other exceptions, still use
full traceback (most likely a bug somewhere, not user error).

Don't print None value as 'None' string, but as empty one (same as at
API level). Otherwise it is indistinguishable from VM named 'None', or
same string property value.
This may be confiusing, for example one may think that
`qvm-prefs --unset vmname netvm` will make vmname network-disconnected.
This type of mistakes may have severe security consequence, so better
drop those option names.
