At the end of the day ATi stuff breaks GLUT whilst Nvidia stuff doesn't.
ATi is 100% and better than nvidia if you use gentoo... otherwise nvidia amkes for a less stressful life.
I first used their drivers over a year ago for a machine that played dixv, mame and dvd's to my TV. I upgraded to ATi, but after having bought a nvidia laptop I'm massively impressed how good their current drivere install is.
closed it may be, but they are looking after us linux users..... please don't spoil it.

Hi all!
I know that nvidia is evil with releasing their
drivers only in binary
format and so on.
I don't know who said that. Maybe this person
should take into account,
that Nvidia is not allowed to release the source
for it includes third
party code, even if they wanted to.
And, before someone points out that NVIDIA might just release the hardware specs, the hardware contains components and designs from third parties as well. Don't buy NVIDIA hardware if you don't like the situation. If they start loosing enough sales from this (*absurd laughter*) then they might start making hardware free of third-party components and released with open source drivers. Spouting "evil capitalistic corporation" stuff isn't going to get anyone very far. ;-)
