MXP is more shabby (although the new shopping mall is kinda bright and clean) but connections are much simpler and faster there than at CDG. I've never missed a connection at MXP, and only had one cancelled flight; I've missed several at CDG, and had a number of very close calls. I've made 20 minute connections at MXP (and my luggage made it) and missed 45 minute connections at CDG.

Also, the security checks are more "personal" at CDG- more pat downs, probes.
