The biggest problem with the nvidia drivers is that when something
breaks, and a kernel or X devel person sees that the user is using the
nvidia drivers, then they're stuck. They can't go look through code and
find the problem. They come up to the binary-only nvidia driver and have
to stop.

That's a whole world of no-fun.

And the sad reality is, lots of people use these drivers and almost all
of them post about bugs in X or at the kernel level with these drivers
loaded.
