Taking transit to and from JFK was a joke.

Depending on the time of day and your destination in Manhattan JFK is actually probably just as easy, if not easier. The JFK Sky Train runs into Jamaica station in Queens where you can either link to LIRR to get into Penn Station or the subway (the only bad part there is dragging bags down stairs and weekend or late night maintenance). Newark is pretty similar, Sky Train to Newark Airport station and then NJ Transit. The issue with Newark is that NJ Transit trains aren't as frequent and you have a few stops before Penn Station. There's also no alternative as the NJ PATH train doesn't run out there. LGA is pretty much a taxi only trip, fortunately it's typically the easier drive of the 3.
