London City you've finally lost me

I've been a long time user (8+ years) of London City airport, but after 5 flights in the last two weeks I've decided it's inbound only for me from now on.

The fact that I'm sitting on a delayed LCY-GLA flight which is waiting to take passengers from the next (cancelled) flight may have coloured my opinion today, but I wonder - has LCY become a victim of its own success?

Cons:
1. Horrendous bag drop / general hall - full of too machines and snaking queues in too small an area
2. Terrible, terrible, security. No logic to the queuing systems and security staff who don't want to be there
3. No lounge - wasn't ever an issue before but with constant delays to flights, and over capacity departures hall I'm done with the scramble over space
I'll still choose City as my inbound as I live a few minutes away, and landing to DLR can still be achieved with hand baggage in under 15 mins.

Am I alone in my rant? :-)
