Either you were extremely lucky or you didn't even realize your problems 
were caused by the proprietary drivers or you're just putting up with the 
problems (such as the driver not supporting the current Fedora when it gets 
released, it happened several times with NVidia too) without realizing 
they're avoidable. Probably all 3 of those.
