Which is the same reason most people won't travel by train.

Indeed. Ryanair, as with trains, can be fine.

I see people getting on and off Ryanair flights almost every week.
They don't seem especially distressed. Only flown them once myself
(apart from 20 years ago) and it was fine. If anything the Berlin
Metro train to get to the airport, plus the long walk to the actual
airport from the station [1], was the worst aspect of the trip.

Oddest thing for a frequent flyer is the way they use the airplane's
own stairs, not even the airport's stairs, to get onto the plane.
That's what you expect on the little Fokkers (tm), but not on a huge
737!

Presumably that save a bit of time and perhaps airport fees, too. It's
one reason why they like the 737, as it's low enough for this to be an
option (the A320 is quite a bit higher).
