Anti-aliasing is used a fair bit in pixel art, but less so in artwork designed to look 8-bit. There weren't enough colors and palette space to anti-alias in older games, so it looks out of place when replicating the look.

Pretty much all the artists I know who work on actual 8-bit platforms use both dithering and AA extensively, hardware permitting.
