The main reason I'm paranoid about missing a flight is the unpredictability of the length of the queues before security. This is partially because I seldom take a plane[0], so I simply don't have enough experience and data to go on.

[0] for all the reasons cameldrv mentioned, plus the impact on the environment. It may be noted that high-speed trains are worse on the environment than classic ones, although still in a different league from air travel.

I fly frequently but I'm also unable to predict how much time I need. It varies greatly. Security/check-in can take anything between a few minutes and 30+ min each. Usually, late passengers can cut the line, but I wouldn't take the risk.
