I have never thought so - not from the day it opened. The parking garage feel claustrophobic with low ceilings and difficult to manouver with circling ramps. Spliting operations on three levels rather than two makes if difficult to use, especially with escalators set the way they are. Moreover, I find nothing of beauty about it. The art does not appeal. Thoughout, it has limited lighting (both interior and in the covered outdoor automobile roadways) and poor window access to the field from the gate areas.
T2 has T3 beat on every level - and has from day one. Parking is a breeze. Layout is simple. One never has to change levels (except via a ramp since it has been upgraded to have bridges to the aircraft). And the beauty of the old floor design in the main lobby and the airplane sketches on the tiles in the rest rooms excells.
T4 needs some improvements. But like T2, it is nicer than T3, IMO.
