I also think easyJet do a creditable performance, especially given how cheap the fares can be. Aircraft are generally spotless, crews are OK (if occasionally a little over-friendly/'matey', but then I am an old geezer). I dislike free seating as well, but I suppose it goes with the territory, and I can live with it given the seat prices. I am sure others here who say easyJet at the corporate level are facing some serious upcoming commercial pressures (as no doubt are much of their competition) are correct, but the ordinary passenger's experience can be a lot worse on other carriers. I think in various ways easyJet is the best bet for being the long-term survivor in this sector of the business.
