I've been in and out of a few airports and my favorites are:
Portland Int'l--PDX is, quite frankly, what every airport should strive to be--simply organized with pleasant public spaces, easy access to transportation and services, etc. I have never encountered a problem flying in or out of PDX.
Denver Int'l--I've only changed flights in Denver a couple of times, but it's a reasonably nice airport in which to pass some time. Pleasant public spaces, nice shopping. Good food.
Gatwick (London)--Gatwick has to be the handiest airport I've ever been to. I took the train in, managed to find my way to the check-in desk without problems, and also managed to pass the several hours before my flight took off quite comfortably. I enjoyed my experience there...though mostly I was glad to be going back to the States.
Airports I dislike:
Seatac. Despite remodels it's still ugly and doesn't even begin to compare to PDX. The traffic in and out of the airport is really terrible at times and it's just an awful place to be. Blech.
Atlanta. Despite the spankin' new international terminal when I was there, I didn't like it...too crowded, seemed really hot and dirty, and just...no.
Reno. Small, dirty, gross. 'Nuff said.
