Unfortunately the 'nv' driver doesn't work for all nVidia cards, and 
doesn't have 3D as Sean mentioned.  And by "doesn't work" I don't 
mean simply no X, I mean that at least in some cases all video output 
is turned off, including the text console.  So there are at least 
some cases where there isn't any choice but to use the proprietary 
drivers.
