But, at the time I wanted out of the box power management (for laptop), decent working 3D (obviously not speed) and stability. Really, the Intel driver provides it all for me. Basic 3D games and compiz work fine and I can slap my laptop lid closed and have no issues with suspend. Basic video acceleration was a nice touch as well.
The AMD drivers binary/OS might now support the above features, but they certainly didn't support my laziness requirements. I had spent a huge amounts of time fighting the Catalyst drivers and still had poor compiz support and random crashes. The OS drivers at the time weren't worth my time as well.
My fix for the Catalyst driver was to buy an NVIDIA card for the desktop and buy Intel equipped laptops.
