LHR these days does not have the luxury of a blank canvas and have to work within a restricted framework.
However, as for the running of the airport, it could be much better managed... here's looking at you BAA.
I find DXB one of the better airports for originating and for connecting at and miles ahead of LHR ( which I do my best to avoid ) plus the 1st/business annexe for check in at T3 is excellent. Singapore pretty much is the airport which I like most for connecting though rarely connect there these days
That LHR is constricted by position is irrelevent; Heathrow (ime) is better than connecting in the USA but still a poor airport
