That's exactly it. I'm not tall (5'9" or so) and I found it squishy. My friend who was with me is over 6' and it was extremely uncomfortable for him. The service is crap, and the airplanes are old. But you do save yourself some money.
Also the big guys (BA/AC) fly into Heathrow which reasonably close to the city centre. Gatwick is quite a ways out. Fortunately, there are trains that run directly to Victoria Station from Gatwick, so unless you're in a hurry its really not that big of a deal.
