While the UA experience at Dulles sucks, the traveler experience for other airlines is superb.
As a GE member, the first doesn't really matter to me given the short visit; disagree with the second although agree with your caveat; don't entirely agree with the third, even for non UA, there are issues with the design and capacity that will plague that system for years maybe forever; I'll give you the fourth, although I can't say there has been any specific improvement felt to ops as a result IME.
