A third player in the GPU scene should be really good for the consumers, whilst AMD and nVidia do fight each other a lot and work to keep each other honest, I would sometimes like to see more choice.

The Larrabee GPU from Intel was something that I wish would have been developed fully, especially the concept that almost everything (if not everything?) was software based, instead of fixed function hardware. So, you need Dx12? Well it's software! You need Sharders? Software! That was awesome - in theory - as if the end user were to use a program that did not use, say Shaders, the cores that were previously assigned to Shaders would be able to go full power on the functions that you did need. (Unlike traditional GPUs where, if you don't use Shaders, then the hardware that controls Shaders is pretty much inactive.

Perhaps Intel with their new GPUs may have some success this time round - and whilst I doubt it would be a Larrabee style graphics card, it would be awesome if they tried things a bit differently.

As for jumping to team blue, the answer is simple. If they have a competetive card in both price and performance, then ofcourse I'd consider it.

P.S - I feel you with the nvidia 'used' to do good drivers. Currently I'm not a fan of either AMD (but their UX and UI is better 'right now' - I do not like having to sign up to nVidia for GeForce Experience) or nvidia drivers - have 2 systems (1 green, 1 red) and both have driver problems far too often.
