If you are arriving early in the morning, the TRE situation is a little better, as they run more often for the morning commuters instead of once an hour and a half or once every two hours
And there is still a shuttle to the south economy parking lot, which leaves from ALL terminals, not just A. Going TO the airport I find it better from TRE, as I hop on shuttle and change to a shuttle to proper terminal (I fly mainly int'l, and usually cannot print a boarding pass, so it's easier to go to Term E).

Yes, the 500 shuttle is better, though it's still a major pain, both from TRE and Orange Line. I've done the Orange Line several times, and it's a pain.
BTW, 500 shuttle goes both to Orange Line and TRE (except Sunday), so be careful, as DART drivers don't always change signs and you may go the wrong way

Now, DART recently opened the Orange line rail as close as Belt Line Rd. You can take the DART #500 bus from Terminal A (curbside upstairs near gate A10) to the Belt Line Rd station and ride the rail from there to downtown. This may be a little faster (and service a bit more frequent) than the TRE, especially if your flights happen to be using Terminal A. But it's still a schlep.
Orange Line is very slow, so between the shuttle and the ride downtown is well over an hour
OTOH, unless you can get to TRE in time for train, it will still be faster.
And SuperShuttle isn't much better, just more expensive.
