Dithered gradients are now available in the latest 30.0 general build.
Toggle the option in the Gradient or Control panels.
Read more about it in this help article.
As stated there, important notes are:
- Dithered gradients follow the resolution set in Document Raster Effect Settings. In fact, this dithering is a raster-based effect, same as Gaussian Blur. It should stay live as long as you keep Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities option enabled (be mindful of this when you save your work in a PDF).
- Dither at the moment works only with gradient fills, not strokes
- Gradients added to CC Libraries don’t support Dither — PDF format know nothing about dithered gradients as a concept, it’s something only Ai does
Note also, that some clipboard managers or extension would interfere in copy/pasting these, similar to how it happens with perceptual gradients, as reported here.
Please test it and comment…

Again, it’d be hard to compare anything without the actual file on hands.
You can either share the part of it here in comments, or send privately to sharewithai@adobe.com, so the team can investigate.
In this case, put the link to this report in the text of the email, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49136090An error occurred while saving the comment Tímea, to me this 'flaky' look seems absolutely normal for an art layered with gradients with blending modes applied. Illustrator supports only 8bit to blend these, and some banding is inevitable. But you say CS6 was able to pull it off, and it’s strange... can you share a fragment of your file, large enough to make a comparison? Do you compare it using the same machine, the same display, the same OS, or you claim it just based on your memories of it being smoother?
An error occurred while saving the comment Andrea, it looks like the gradient has too little difference between colors in stops, therefore banding happens... and Ai just can’t make the transition smooth because there is literally not enough colors to fill the distance.
Can you please share the test file with this gradient in it, just to verify it? Nothing else, just the object filled with the gradient.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment What do you expect? :)
You have only 5 steps over this big distance, of course it's blocky. And it will print as such, until your RIP can add some noise to prevent banding.An error occurred while saving the comment I know exactly what Raster Effects settings do, thanks, lowering it down is not the way — I still have to remember boost it up, when exporting final images. If AI could have a display quality slider, as Indesign has, that would help a bit though.

Expected to be fixed in Beta 30.6.0.75.
Please try to update and check if the lagging is gone.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, it lags... deleting dimensions makes it fly.

Got resolved with toggling the way Spot Colors are handled with a dedicated Spot Colors option in the Swatches panel’s dropdown menu
An error occurred while saving the comment I see, thanks. The option that is rarely mentioned and toggled!

An error occurred while saving the comment Becca, do you work with cloud or local documents?
Do you have 'Save in Background' option enabled in Preferences > File Handling?
Was it working better in builds before 30.3? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ava, I tried to recreate this.
For a polygon with a size of 0.03 px, zoomed to 25500%, stroke of 1 px looks very similar to what you see.
Your shape is just SUPER SMALL.
Or is it something I don’t see here? -

An error occurred while saving the comment @jeremy, I’d say it’s not about 'Keep Selected' only — I personally use this method to smooth anything with the Opt/Alt mode — I hold Cmd/Ctrl to grab paths, release the key, then hold Opt/Alt and smooth. However, having it popping with nothing selected at all... it makes sense for consistency, to still have the control, even if you can’t use it. It’s like removing a 'buy' button completely in an app until we choose a shipping address — would be super confusing. Apps allow us to make mistakes to guide us, same as here.
The tooltip part — haven’t seen it in a while. Might be a bug.
An error occurred while saving the comment Smoothing a selected portion of a path converts the extreme points in the selection into sharp from smooth.
Here I have a path with all the points being smooth (all handles are at 180°), but one portion of the path is particularly bumpy. I want to smooth only this portion.
I select it (using Lasso), I make sure these are smooth, I pick Pencil, hold Opt/Alt, drag the slider... and it makes the selected portion of the path connected to the rest of it in the sharp manner. There is no tension at the star/end points, it just flops.
While this can be useful, being blind like this, I’d love for it to at least give me the choice. An option, perhaps?An error occurred while saving the comment Eliza, Opt/Alt in Illustrator never toggled the Eyedropper for Brush and Blob Brush... I just checked it in several older versions (up to CS, just to be sure). Perhaps you are confusing it with Photoshop? There is actually a dedicated request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39243472 — and I added you as a voter there, based on your comment.
An error occurred while saving the comment Ben, Smooth is a new feature, and it was no there 10 years ago. You probably confuse it with Simplify, which is still there and works as it used to.
An error occurred while saving the comment I am checking it in the latest Beta, and I don’t think it’s a major difference.
Ai still does not highlight the portion of a path that is going to be smoothed while you hold the mouse button/pen down, and there is no way to definitely make targeted point just vanish.
If you are done with it and take no more feedback, it’s fine. But if there is still room for improvement, I’d live to have more feedback on it. Like why do we have to release the key to see the result in the first place? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jake, this tool should be just remade.
Meanwhile, try to use awesome Stylism panel that allows to do this right on your canvas. -

An error occurred while saving the comment This would be my approach. Instead of using overlaps, I keep gradients within masks where needed only. Semitransparent on opaque gives better results.
An error occurred while saving the comment I can imagine what it looks like, yes. But with images the effect of the weak middle where gradient overlap would be much... weaker, right? Can you share a fragment of the collage, just to see how the problem affects the design?
An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, I know about this myself too.
Even with CPU Preview (GPU speed performance may alter colors a lot), both a screenshot of the canvas and an exported TIFF (and PNG), measured in Photoshop, give me G and B climbing up in the middle gradually in sync, up to 64.
I’d agree 50 + 50 should give 100, but... Math... Gamma... Color profiles... too many factors contribute.I wonder what are the things you do often that make it important? Just curious.

Gradient across stroke, inside opacity mask is thresholded for half the width of the stroke

An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting. Arden, can you please strip away all the objects from the document, but those that are required to make the bug reproducible, and share it here?
Can you reproduce it in a new document with a newly created freeform gradient applied to the fill?
I realize you downgraded already, but perhaps you kept both copies of the app.An error occurred while saving the comment Arden, can you please show a small video recording of the behavior? Show both the panel, the art, the gradient annotator and your attempts to edit anything. Can you reproduce it with a new document? Are you on 30.3, macOS 10.15?

An error occurred while saving the comment I confirm this.
Disabling Advanced setting in Smart Guides changes nothing.
No problems like this in older builds, like CS4 or CC2017. -

We got the dithering for linear and radial gradients, but not 'freeform' ones:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/51229009
Please upvote this if this is something you’d like to have.
If you are not happy with how the dithering currently works — please comment or create a report.
Also, you might want to need a fractal noise gradient: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49196615 (and different vector fills in general)
