Heathrow is a terrible place. Outdated, crowded, and just an all around terrible place/experience. and while i haven't been to T5 yet, and have no intention of doing so ever (see below), from what i hear nothig has improved. it basically won't until they add a thrid or even a fourth runway.
Manchester is very nice. It has a railway station attached to the facility so you can go directly to the airport from most of Northern England. Also, it is newer, better maintained, less busy, and has bettter queuing theory and traffic theory behind it so things flow better, about as intuitively as is possible for an airport. Now when i want to go to England i go Copenhagen -> Manchester instead of directly to Heathrow. It is about two extra hours in the air, but when you consider that you don't go through Heathrow, or London at all, it is worth it (I am generally headed for Northern England anyhow)
