I prefer the "infant" lowercase 'a' purely on the basis of aesthetics. The two-story 'a' seems fussy and pedantic. And the loopy 'g' descender that's so fashionable nowadays drives me nuts. In both cases I suppose an argument can be made that the versions I dislike are better for readability, and thus should be preferable as defaults, but I'm glad we almost always get to choose our own typefaces most of the time nowadays. |

This actually matters for my custom tiny ~5x4 pixel font on 4K screens, but I'm still using the infant lowercase 'a'. Partly because I can't seem to recreate the double-stacked a that I liked, and partly because it's very hard to fit into the 5x4 grid. But the end result is that there's less than a pixel difference between my 'a' and my 'o': A solid pixel instead of an AAed one.
