The same was true of Mac OS X 10.0’s pervasive system-wide anti-aliasing. It was less legible but more aesthetically pleasing. In the long run, as displays got better and better, people stopped complaining about it.

So true. Complaining fonts don’t look sharp on your non-Retina display today is like complaining the image doesn’t look sharp on your 15 year old analog CRT.
