as long as you stick with AMD or Intel graphics drivers (Nvidia graphics don't play nice with it, or else I would be using it too).
I've had exactly the opposite experience with nvidia vs amd... unless you are speaking about only using the open source drivers, then yes, amd works better, but if you use the closed source drivers then I've found nvidia to be the card that just plain works for everything.
I just recently bought a laptop with an AMD Radeon RX 580 on board and while the graphics worked fine right out of the box it was a complete nightmare getting a working openCL compute environment. I've only recently got it working, so up until about a week about I had been using my 5 year old laptop instead because it had nvidia and just worked, even though I've had the new computer for 4 months.
For Intel drivers I whole heatedly agree, they are great right out of the box and just work, but intel graphics are quite a bit slower.
