ORD Is a mess. Three weeks ago flew into there on an international flight. It took 2 hours to go through immigration, even US citizens, who were in the same queue as foreigners. APEC card was useless.
I am with you and will be avoiding ORD on an international itinerary for the future.
However connecting domestically on AA is easy, and the AA Flagship lounge is not bad, the staff there are really good.

That's when Global Entry shows its true worth! (Of course, only available if you are US citizen or LPR)

I have flown CX out of ord periodically, will be flying that in Sep., I find there people to be very helpful and the flights attendants usually very good. Terminal 5 is another story but don't but don't blame that on CX.
YMMV

try JFK...that place is always an unpleasant mess too. I think it's more an issue of US airports being complete messes.
I arrived on CX at ORD last Sunday. Global Entry was quick. Bags took forever to arrive (and the screens never did show which baggage claim belt would be used for this flight, just a couple of PA announcements). But still better than the surly people running JFK.
Looking forward to their new service to IAD though.
