Surprisingly text rendering and font hinting/anti-aliasing doesn't appear to have improved significantly since then. I am curious if there is a reason for this.

- tinus_hn 3y agoYes there is, the reason is that this is just a difficult problem with a lot of trade-offs, and in a world where there is no strong authority deciding on the trade-offs everyone is going to make a different choice. So all the toolkits look different which is objectively the worst result.
- wkat4242 3y agoI think because it's not so important anymore. I work on a 24" 4K screen at 200% scaling. I can still see the pixels a bit so a little anti aliasing is still great to have but it no longer has to be perfect.
