The sides of grass didn't match the top of the grass until 1.5, however, the sides of grass blocks only match the top on fancy graphics, which means those of us who haven't a decent computer don't get this sexiness. My solution? Make this feature togglable, just like smooth lighting.
Turn on fancy graphics
Turn on Maximum (minimum, I don't fiddle with the options enough to know) FPS usage
Look at grass
???
Profit.
