NVidia's Linux drivers are pretty good, I'm using them now. They do have
faults - AIUI they're somewhat wasteful of memory. The main "functionality" thing that would move me away from them is if the Nouveau driver supported enough 3D to run my composited desktop and basic GL apps successfully. With Nouveau being merged into the mainline kernel, hopefully we'll see all distros supporting it out-of-the-box instead of the nv driver soon. On top of that it gets me nice features like kernel modesetting (and up-to-date Xrandr although I can't say I'm that bothered about that!).
The "Just Works" aspect of having KMS + basic 3D out of the box would be

According to whom/what? While we are always improving the Gallium3D architecture, we've deployed several production-quality Gallium3D drivers (the gallium-0.[12] branches in the Mesa repository aren't there just for fun) and aren't aware of any such severe limitations.
