In what way is doing a very good job? A good job could be if they
collaborate a bit for the development of their drivers
Since both ATI and NVIDIA are lacking driver-wise, compare the hardware.
NVIDIA was ahead for a long time, but they blundered several times
lately, such as the mobile chipset debacle. NVIDIA has tried and failed
also to again leapfrog ATI as they did with the 8800 and the 260/280.

I agree that Xorg people have done a very good job (by their own) with
radeon/radeonhd drivers.
But I have to disagree in regards AMD/ATI. It's not a linux-friendly
company and has not released the full specs for their vga cards. Just
some papers. In these days, that's not enough.
