I use the proprietary driver on all my systems due to lack of 3D and 
VDPAU support. Having a fancy boot splash transition is the least of my 
worries. My opinion is from a general user perspective. The Red Hat and 
X.org folks have done nice work with KMS.

As for the driver itself, I do not have any issues with my cards[1] or 
Fedora 12. I use my custom DKMS-based RPM on all my systems though. I 
don't care to have kmod/akmod packages infested on my systems.
