Really? I have been using Ati cards since I remember and I have never had any serious trouble with it. 
Yes, AMD is to be blamed for the damned fglrx, but, seriously, I, personally, do not complain. For some time I used fglrx, then I moved to open-source drivers (due to this bug) and I found out they are working perfectly... I used to have some trouble with them, because of some tiny bugs, but I can get great performance and everything I could wish...
I do agree some people may be disappointed by poor support for their cards in Ubuntu, but you can't say everyone with Ati card will have lots of trouble... If you are conscious enough, you can avoid any trouble and gain full support. Maybe not for the lastest and hottest cards, but as in my case, it IS possible even to play the newest games. 
In my opinion the open-source drivers are not as bad as many people claim, and also fglrx is not as trouble-causing as it looks like. I think people are over-complaining about Ati cards, as from my experience, and from what I know from the Internet, they just have a terrible stereotype, while the truth is that they are usable (but getting them to work sometimes requires some work).
