It's always looking forward to the next kernel filled with new goodness. Also bugfix / maintenance releases are highly welcome.

On other hand, AMD got all DRM goodies ages ago. And now even opensource stack does OpenGL 4.1. Whatever, but if one cares about integration with system, lack of silly issues and advantages of opensource, nvidia isn't good at all.

Good price for being stubborn morons.
