"You should see the other guy" isn't very persuasive.

Yes it is. I'm comparing it with other very large terminals that I've used
multiple times. Obviously there's less walking in small terminals.

Just because there are other badly designed (from the pedestrian's point
of view) terminals, doesn't excuse T5 from learning from those lessons.

What lessons? As a frequent user, I think it's the best large
terminal I've ever used and sets the standard that other large
terminals should aim for. And I've used quite a few of them.
Incidentally, I'm not the only one who thinks it's good:

It's a pity that the newer Heathrow T2 isn't as good.


It's a very well-designed terminal that's a pleasure to use (and I'm a
regular user of it, which I don't think you are).

I've flown in once (very long walk to immigration) and out once (not
such a long walk to the gate). Different triangular trips.

I use it several times a year, and have arrived and departed from all three
of the buildings. I've also used all the business and first class lounges.

Maybe you are over-conditioned to these unnecessary route-marches.

Well, I know it's significantly better than any other large terminal I
use, and I've used a lot, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing,
etc. I'm curious why you hate it so much, given that you've hardly any
experience of it?
