An opinion from the other side of the pond:
You're right that southwest, jetblue et al are pretty good for what they offer- but don't misunderstand the next steps- heavier competition, higher price crunch and then you end up with a service like easyjet or ryanair. If you've ever flown either, you'll understand just exactly how unpleasant flying can be.

Good point, I've never flown either but have heard plenty of stories. I think there is a fine line here between inexpensive and cheap which those airlines have go walk wisely.
