I just feel that because of the progress made on the Radeon drivers, ATi should shift their developer focus to them instead of the fglrx drivers. It frankly would be a much better use of time and resources, in addition to giving ATi a huge advantage over Nvidia in the Linux community.
I know I would buy ATi over Nvidia no questions asked if I knew that ATi's primary Linux driver was completely open source. Presently, I am forced to chose Nvidia as their official drivers just plain work better at the present time.
