antialiasing, especially for text, is super hard to get right, especially when "right" is so subjective

here's a great article, go read it

http://antigrain.com/research/font_rasterization/index.html#FONT_RASTERIZATION

I don't understand why Apple is asking us to sacrifice the present at the altar of the future. Can't we have hinting at low resolutions, and accuracy at high resolutions, too? Snapping fonts to a pixel grid may very well be irrelevant when everyone is luxuriating in the glow of their 200 DPI monitors. Until that glorious day arrives, respecting the pixel grid certainly makes text a lot more readable for those of us stuck in the here and now.

this caused me to lol then i stopped reading since its irrelevant

Java code:

interface Node {
  Node getParent();
  Node[] getChildren();
  Object getData();
}

yeah it's an old article but it gives you an idea of how complex antialiasing is
