Subpixel AA does not have significant benefits over greyscale AA on 1440p or similar displays, and it always have all the downsides. If you're rocking a large 1080p display and never share your screen (including screenshots), sure.

As the field of view taken by pixels decrease (DPI only has meaning when combined with distance to retina), anti-aliasing becomes less and less relevant. But until then, greyscale remains the lesser evil.
