Because getting to JFK from Manhattan and vice versa was a piece of cake.
Getting to/from JFK from anywhere not on Long Island just plain sucks.

4. EWR is one of the nastiest airports in the country. Long lines, surly employees, frequent delays.

Not sure when the last time was that you were in EWR, but at worst, it's no better or worse than JFK as it relates to air congestion, employee attitude, etc.
Don't talk to me about the Lincoln Tunnel - the Belt Parkway and 678 are just as God-awful at the wrong time of day.
