Point is: if you're on Linux, you have other, _more_ considerations than a working driver. I mean, if you just want to it to work, you already have an OS where it works and will probably continue to work for a while, so why not use it? Is compiz etc so great you cannot give it up for aqua etc? It will never boil down to "a better graphics experience", it was always and first the _other_ issues.
So others, me included, want open source, not just for performance, also for visibility, openness, portability, security and a good gut feeling no one's calling home (and the ability to verify it). If having all this means that performance will suffer a bit -- although it's always improvable --, then I understand and accept that.
I think the problem here is not AMD, but people using their Windows-orientated vision of how software should be on Linux. AMD has been doing all the right things and you still complain -- reeks of _that_ (in my eyes inferior) computer using culture to me.
I mean, otherwise we'd be all using Windows, no?
