What's everybody's gripe with AMD? I never had a problem with any of my cards
Basically, efficiency. I rock an AMD card, cpu and chipset as well, but only because I'm cheap. AMD's chips will be slower than their Intel / Nvidia counterparts every time, while somehow requiring more wattage. This is across all their lines. But, if you're on a budget and don't care about extra heat, there's really nothing wrong with AMD at all.
