EWR isn't bad if you're taking the first in the morning. then again, JFK is only 40 min from my home when i'm headed for an 0600 departure.
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
I find Newark to be a bit less hectic. Also because of non crossing runways, it seems they have a more regular queue (they do have intersecting RWYs but they are never used by the larger aircraft). I once saw a China Eastern 777 wait 30 minutes before taking off and they were number 4 in the queue when they got to the line for a 4L departure out of JFK. Mostly due to a slew of Delta, American and Jet Blue regional traffic that aparently prefers 4L for quicker gate times.
Aso to me, I find Neward a lot friendlier if you have family/friends taking you/picking up than the confusing Kennedy terminal layout and ramp system.
In the end I think they are both the same. Definitely lots more foreign traffic at JFK than at Newark from my perspective.

Being that I live on LI JFK is a no-brainer for me. And meaning no disrespect to any Jerseyans but getting to Newark from LI is just one big pain in the keister.
JFK is more convenient to/from my house, so it gets my vote. Even when I'm leaving on a trip from work in Manhattan, I still prefer JFK.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
I would prefer JFK, because if we depart via 13R or 4R I can see my house
Gonzalu: Though EWR doesn't use an intersecting runway pattern, the two parallels are way too close causing problems of their own.
