LHR really isn’t that bad. T2 and T5 are great and comparable to most global hubs. T3 is the downside. The advantage of LHR is much better lounges for those eligible.
Global Entry is also a godsend meaning you don’t need to worry about immigration queues in the U.S. and I know more and more people applying for it - even those only going once a year to the U.S. think the fee is worth it for the 5 year validity. Plus you get TSA pre-clear which is also great.
