On US-AMS trips with onward flight connection into the Schengen area, the elimination of having to reclear security during transit at AMS has made some things smoother for me.

If only the security contractors' interrogations ended, I would consider AMS even more for trips to the US. But between those annoying busy bodies and some long taxi times on landing at AMS, I don't choose AMS as much as I would otherwise.
