Gatwick is as convenient to get to and from as Heathrow for us in
Cambridge.

But presumably Stansted is far better than either?

Yes, but with very limited destinations. Almost nothing outside
Europe. And even then, the last two European trips booked by household
members used different airports (in particular Gatwick for one on
account of route availability). And of course Stansted is famously no
good for the USA, although during the short periods when that
continent was available, we did use it.

I wouldn't say the destinations reachable from Stansted were "very
limited"...

How many destinations outside Europe? (OK, I see there's a flight to Las
Vegas planned for next year).

Just because most destinations are in Europe doesn't equate to the
airport serving "very limited destinations" - that would mean just a
few destinations, and there are in fact many.

It's some time since I found they had flights to somewhere I was actually
trying to fly to.
