With slight hinting, and rgba subpixel rendering enabled, I found font rendering on Linux to be comparable to or even better than on Windows >= XP with ClearType. Definitely better than Windows 8+ DirectWrite. What you won't get without patching is Windows 2000 style aliased + hinted fonts, or OSX style rendering. But I think most of the complaints originated years ago, when you needed that kind of font rendering on CRTs.
