Or if you're a big OSS person you might buy ATI anyway even though it's crap, because Nvidia is super closed-source and you want to support the more OSS vendor.

But in general this advice is spot on.
It's been quite some time since AMD's drivers were an actual problem. Updates for games when they release used to be a big problem. Not so much any more though. But non-functional drivers? It's been many moons since anyone could claim that with a straight face.
