Of course, nowhere can match Stansted for sheer awfulness - the slow and
infrequent transit shuttle there just being the icing on the cake of
passenger-hating crap if you have the misfortune to arrive at a remote
gate.

Agreed there, Stansted is a terrible airport in just about every way.

They got to start from scratch on a greenfield site, too, so there is
no excuse for just how awful it is.

Not an excuse, but a one word explanation: Ryanair. It has enough of
the business through the airport to be able to veto any plans that
would make it better. And Ryanair doesn't give a fig if that makes the
airport less popular with other airlines' customers.
