I have never used Cedega, I've used Wine though, not much though, but some and it seems work relatively well.
Considering that Cedega is from the Wine codebase (it was previously called Winex), and that Cedega makes money of it, I think that it would be good if Cedega contributed back some patches, or donated a little money back to the Wine project.
Wine has getting improvements lately, Google contributed 200+ patches when they ported Picasa, and there been some work on Direct3D stuff on Wine lately.
I think that iD Software is the best game company ever, they like to use OpenGL, they make Linux binaries, and sometimes they even release the source code to their games after a while...
Another thing I think would be cool if Cedega had a "community edition" of Cedega, such as other open source companies do have such as MySQL, etc. It could have a Cedega version that is dual licensed, one under the GPL but maybe it gets released after their other version of Cedega. Then those who are serious about gaming, and use it alot will pay for it, and subscribe and they always get the latest version, and can vote on what games to support while those who use the community edition get an outdated version for free, and they cant vote on what games to support. I almost never do play games, but it is nice to play sometimes...
