The In Your Pocket travel guidebook series is doing a survey among their readers on the worst airports in Europe. Among their editors the choices are 1) Heathrow, 2) Bucharest-Baneasa (the airport used by LCC's), and 3) Gdansk, Poland.
I agree hands down on Heathrow, an airport I simply avoid on connections. If I am flying to London, I look for a flight to Gatwick, a much nicer and more user friendly airport or to Luton or Stansted, and also avoid Heathrow.
I also agree on Baneasa, which even after a renovation has very inadequate airport facilities. It does have its pluses, however, such as being close to the city and with good public transportation availible into the city. I did not think Gdansk was that bad except that the public transportation from the airport into the city left something to be desired. I would add Beauvais, which some LCC's use for Paris, to the list of worst airports.
