As others have noted, it was hardly flawless though arguably just par for the course troubled except for the baggage system. And that was for an airport basically built in the middle of nowhere.

One can argue that Denvers airport was one of the most successful government infrastructure projects in the US over the last 30 years.

It's not a bad airport. Its downside is that it was popped down in empty land to the northeast of the city so it's significantly farther from downtown and farther from many of the mountain destinations to the west than the old airport was.
But obviously there was nowhere else to put it.
