I use it, because my eyes are sensitive to MSAA * 4, even at those resolution. Beyond that level of sample AA, I can't see the difference, but 0 * MSAA, 2 * MSAA and 4 * MSAA, is very obvious to be and I can typically always name exactly what is used, as nVIDIA implements all of those.

DX9 in CoJ vs DX10 is so much more different, in terms of quality, regardless of AA / AF settings. Even though I believe all effects could be done in DX9C, perhaps with equal effective IQ and performance.

Is CoJ Valve Source based? If so, I didn't know that at all, but that puzzles me more, as anything Valve based (even FFCM7 and FFCM8) gives me way better performance.
