The right angles and hard edges seem to make it easier for my eyes to get the right focus setting.
I agree; when I first used an LCD, the best part of the experience was how sharp everything looked. On a CRT the pixels were somewhat blurry no matter what, but the LCD made the pixels actually look like little squares and it felt like my eyes were in focus. I can stand antialiasing on large fonts but small text looks better to me without AA, and subpixel AA just makes me feel dizzy since my eyes seem to be continually trying to focus to get those sharp edges.
Misc-Fixed is my favourite font too, although I've modified mine with a slashed zero to make 0 and O more distinctive.
