It's one of my least favorite airports in Europe. The number of times my luggage got lost there alone is enough for me to avoid whenever possible. The shops and restaurants are also extremely bland.

The needed context seems to be that the person you are replying to is German. I don't love Schiphol either, but it beats any German airport (looking at Frankfurt in particular).

Frankfurt is atrocious, but Munich is great.

What’s a nice large European airport? I feel like I’ve heard terrible things of all of them, like LHR and CDG.

Copenhagen is quite nice.

I was flying to Schiphol on Monday and use that airport as my favorite for long-haul flights, even though I'm from Germany. It's a really nice airport.

Schiphol AMS is my favorite European airport.

It’s not as great as SIN, ICN or the once dominant HKG though.

I would argue that's the only nice airport in Scandinavia even! Would say the worst layout on an airport i've ever seen is Stockholm Arlanda.

Except for the incredibly low ceilings in some places.

I like Heathrow when travelling to or from London. It's huge, but there's public transport to each terminal, a reasonable selection of restaurants and generally somewhere to sit. It's fairly quiet.

Changing between terminals at Heathrow is much less fun.

CDG I find confusing.

Any chance we can get the title modified to read "Schiphol airport ..." as many won't know if this is a company, a town, or what until paragraph 4 of the press release?

Schipol is quite a famous airport, though.

I'd be quite confident that the vast majority of people who don't live in or travel to Europe a lot have never heard of it.
