You mean as in nVidia drivers taking a week or so to adjust to new

to use ATI drivers which don't work at all on current X for several months
now, basically since F12 appeared? And who knows when (or if) they will
actually start supporting modern X?
You are saying that we should abandon closed source drivers for cards which
work and are well supported by nVidia, and instead use closed source drivers
which don't work and have lousy (if any) Linux support from ATI? Call me
stupid, but I don't understand your argument.
Misrepresenting someone's position makes you look foolish to people who
actually listened and understood what they said.
Kevin did not suggest the use of ATI's proprietary drivers; he suggested
that such recommendations ("proprietary drivers in general") are a poor
choice.
