Yes, well, nVidia provides closed-source, binary-only, Intel-Only
drivers. They do not publish their driver API, so developers have to
reverse-engineer it.

ATI provides full documentation to their API, and the drivers to their
cards are open-source, cross-platform, and easily extensible.

If you search the linux kernel list, you will see a lot of people very
unhappy with nVidia, particularly because they are not publishing their
API.
