Being in any camp is just a bad way to approach things.

I go with AMD because they make the best desktop CPUs right now. When Intel gets their shit together (hopefully) and the pendulum swings back I'll go with them.

These are all corporations at the end of the day. They get better and worse overtime. They certainly never stay the same forever and deserve any kind of loyalty to their brand.

Well, maybe, but Intel is historically much scummier than AMD ever was. ICC benchmark cheating, OEM bribery debacle, ECC only for XEON, constant socket changes, shitty non-solder TIM for a long time, etc...
Remember when Nvidia used to have the better open source drivers than ATI? The company that's in the lead always acts the shittiest because they can because they already have the lead. Don't tie yourself to one company.
