Tegel was only well functioning for inner-EU flights. Every time I had to fly to Israel via either Tegel or Schönefeld it was a huge hassle that required going through some obviously-late-addition terminal somewhere far and inconvenient. BER was also a shitshow but the old airports badly needed replacement. I’ve flown through BER 3 times so far and all of them went fine and much more convenient than the old ones (with the exception of inner EU trips which I anyway prefer to do via train instead when possible).
