No, it is nothing like that at all.

Set up a side-by-side A/B test (such as setting up Safari on Windows to use Mac-rendering) and then ask a bunch of Mac users which they prefer and they will say Mac, ask a bunch of Windows users which they prefer and they will say Windows. There are pros and cons to grid-fitting or not grid-fitting, but ultimately those pros and cons are trumped by what you're used to seeing.

My guess is you're surrounded by a bunch of Mac users and suffering from the same bubble effect you are attributing to "HN".

I know people who use Windows and prefer the way OS X does font rendering, they just hate everything else about the platform.
