There are other graphics card vendors as well and
not dealing with Intel hardware is pretty much like ignoring MS
Windows on the software side:
You are making the wrong comparisons. Intel might be good on other things like Microprocessors, WiFi cards and so on, but comparing Intel and Nvidia/ATI in graphics market is like comparing Microsoft and Google in online advertisement market.
Intel will not, and can not, provide anyone support on products for which consumers pays essentially nothing(Ok you do pay 3-4 $ compared to motherboards with no integrated graphics). Although its their responsibility to provide good drivers, but they easily escape it by telling that their efforts are open source, which I don't think is a good excuse.
About recommending Nvidia, it's simply word of mouth advertising. These people make products that WORK, albeit being closed sourced. ATI may be catching up in 1-2 years, but Intel is simply out of scene.
PS: BTW, there has been new release of Intel Driver( v2.3 ) , and since it requires Xorg 7.3, you would have to wait for Hardy Heron to get that update. I've heard that they have completed EXA implementation, and now we can run compiz along with a movie.

recommendations? There are other graphics card vendors as well and
not dealing with Intel hardware is pretty much like ignoring MS
Windows on the software side: market share is huuuuge.
