SFO was formerly my home airport so I didn't do a lot of connecting - but the worst UA connection (it is their hub - they probably would have the worst) would be from the old E pier out to the intl G gates. Easy walk. No train waiting required. Those two airports are actually very compact for walking compared to many. SEA at AS - about average. Things like ATL and IAH are horrendous.

Since OneWorld I've switched more of my flying from UA to AA. Ugh - I forgot how much I hated the trAAin.

Yeah. Thing is I do ORD and SFO as an AS pax (often connecting international). It’s uh, less than ideal. And LAX is a joke, though thank goodness terminals are connected behind security.
