Nvidia had a fair number of driver duds as well, plus they tend to let dozens of versions out the door one way or another. Back when I designed nvidia cards if they broke something it could mean testing 12 driver versions to see what did and didn't work.
I'm using mostly ATi cards these days, partly because of the sometimes better (non-3D) picture quality, partly as I designed one more recently than I did an nvidia card but partly just what was available (like when I wanted a very fast AGP card for my home system). I think they and nvidia are still close enough in most ways that the average user may well not care. There are a couple of nvidia-specific things I'm missing though, so I think I'll be back in their camp next time around.
