Nvidia are serious about graphics for professionals. The linux driver is fast and continuously updated.
I have deployed thousands of workstations with various ranges of graphics cards. Nvidia is the simplest, a trailing second is AMD (they do make rolling RPMs easy though) They are just as buggy as the windows drivers.
Intel make brilliant drivers now, its just a shame the graphics cards are tiny compared to AMD/Nvidia.
Nvidia just don't do opensource drivers. For me, I frankly couldn't give a fig if they are open source or not, just so long as it works.
