I get there 45 minutes before my flight, get through security relatively quickly (yes, it looks like a total zoo most of the times, but that's mostly because of the configuration; at least you can use some judgement to try to arbitrage the lines and find the best one), and get on the plane. Similarly, I like landing at LGA, hopping in a cab, and being home in half an hour. At DEN, it takes half an hour just to get curbside.
