I don't know if nvidia is better at wine'ing ;-) But I'm convinced that nvidia has the by far better video support with vdpau. But actually when I look at the problems my colleague has at work with nvidia, I feel lucky having an Ati card. He got a lot of problems in Jaunty with QT apps. The text etc within them isn't refreshing and there is graphic corruptions. It might be QT's fault, but neither Intel or fglrx have the same problems (We run the same version of Jaunty).
I don't say fglrx is better than nvidia, but they are catching up. Within a reasonable timeframe I am sure fglrx will at least be as good as nvidia's driver.
- As a sitenote, lets not forget the oss drivers :-) I'm moving to them when 3d support arrives for r600.
