One of the key differences for me over the years is that when there have been issues with nVidia drivers there is almost always a close driver version that works fine - with ATI and AMD pre 2009 that was often not the case at all especially with their release schedules. People either seem very quick to forget that and/or don't have as broad experience with both sides as they think or try to portray.
These days it is a much less remarked story - infact last few months nVidia drivers have demanded more of my time support wise. To really compare driver quality you have to look a lot deeper than just the fact that both have issues with factors like how many people out of the entire user base are effected, how long issues take to be sorted, playability of new release games, availability of relevant drivers to rollback to, etc. i.e. its no good if a game release driver degrades your experience and no older driver supports the game and you are waiting a month or more for a fix and so on.
Regardless Nvidia has given me issues over the decades, besides I don't like their business practice in general, I always support the underdog which has a better business practice where I can .
I do miss the old days where we had Nvidia, ATi, Matrox, 3DFX, how times have changed.
