The taxi times can be either short or long, but DFW is big and big airports almost always have long taxi times. Nothing you can do about that. Either you have a hub with plenty of runways (less congstion) or you have a hub airport that is bursting at the seams (Heathrow).

To say it's a "dump" is rather harsh. Go to Paris Charles de Gaulle, which truly is a dump. Makes DFW's terminals look way better. Not to mention the "airport tour" you get when you arrive on an international flight (not that I mind since I am an aviation enthusiast, but most people are not fans of that place to say the least).

If you give yourself enough time and fly when the weather's not an issue, DFW wins in my books anyway. I do like DAL though. I liked it before the new terminal was built, but it's even better now.
Plus it has one of these.
