Couldn't agree more. Manchester is far from the worst, although it does have its' problems. I suppose you have to take into account the enormous structural change the airport has 'suffered' over the past 5 or 10 years- Terminal Three, Runway 2, the southside taxiways, segregation in T1, the T1 airside makeover- the list is endless.
The other thing I forgot to mention is that T1 Piers A/B were never built originally to handle anywhere near the amount of traffic they do today. A Pier has faired better with the opening of T3, but B Pier has simply been adjusted and added to as time and passenger numbers have dictated. This is one of the reasons we see ourselves in the mudled situation we are in today, in my opinion.
