Hey hey calm down a little there, up until the R300 ATI has been on
the forefront for implementing new features on their chips like:

- 3d textures. NVidia only came up with those in the FX5 series, ati
had them already in the Radeon7500.
- Multi render target support. ATI r300 can do it, NVidia FX5 series cannot.
- Floating point textures. ATI r300 can do it perfectly, NVidia FX5
series is limited to TEXTURE_RECTANGLE.
...

ATI their Linux drivers are a crippled bunch, that's for a fact, and
that's a big reason why open source r300 drivers get so much
attention. But don't offend their chip designers :)
