In Firefox 4 and IE9, the much smoother Windows DirectWrite API is used. In Firefox 4, you need to toggle a gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled preference in about:config though.

I understand why they'd make it optional (in the Firefox way of 'if you know about it you can enable it') but why not enable it automatically on platforms that support it?

It's pretty new, it should get enabled by default soon.
