This is intentional, as I explained here in #705, the way feather works makes anti-aliasing redundant when it's enabled and it is therefore being hidden whenever feather is on.

I see ! 馃憤

Well, and here it is just a simple question, thinking about it, would it be easier to have implemented just a _grey-out Antialiasing checkbox_ feature while keeping it visible to all?. A while back it was a bit confusing, not now, for me and it could be for others too.
But honestly I understand your way of thinking 馃憤

I've recently been talking about removing the "feather" toggle for brush and just have it on always, as I think it makes sense for the brush type it's supposed to behave like, so i'll probably remove anti-aliasing from brush completely. If there's no anti-aliasing button, you can't get confused :P

If you want a finer stroke type, use pen (which still has AA toggle), if you want a pencil like type, use the pencil.

Agree with removing the feather and AA toggles of the brush tool.

Just to let you know I also noticed today _(Pencil2D build 12SET2017)_ that the ERASER tool also hides the _Anti-Aliasing_ feature if the _Use Feather's box_ is selected.

I'd like to pick this up if it's still up for grabs!

Go ahead @nickbetsworth !
