Ok airports: Hartfield (Atlanta), DIA (Denver), SeaTac, O'Hare.
While these are big, they seem to me to be better designed to get people into and out of them easily. They only rate ok with me because...well...they're big and as such you have the usual big airport issues.
I guess I can add Houston to that list. It's been a few years since I was down there, but the 3 or 4 times I went through I can never remember anything good about it.
(I've been through LAX, but I can't recall pluses or minuses on it.)
The smaller big city airports usually rank as my favorite. Portland has a great airport which is easy to get into and out of. My big complaint with it is that they have totally screwed up the security areas, but I almost feel like that isn't their fault. Billings had a nice little airport and Augusta Georgia's airport was just plain cute.
Non-descript: Columbus(OH), Cincinatti, Philly, Birmingham (AL), Charleston(WV)
Vegas was too damn flashy with all the slots, but Salt Lake was Morman clean and also well designed.

lebell have you been to the newly upgraded Seatac?
its a lot more "cozy" now and less in and out as before.
its possible to lounge there comfortably and ejoy the scenery inside.
edit
ill throw in a soso airport
Ft Lauderdale was small and very get your stuff and get out like to me.
Houston if i remember right was like that too
and Vegas was to me, just like a huge diner with food , slot machines, and tons of souvenir shops.
editx2 maui airport was very strange to me, open everywhere except loading area and quite small but at the same time, *almost* comfortable.
