I've always thought that Midway lost out when they cancelled the Crosstown Expressway, the only good direction to approach Midway is from downtown or directly southwest. Even people to the south face a long, slow slog through Oak Lawn (from the Tri-State) or Englewood (from the Dan Ryan)
Still, Midway is arguably better sited for the North Lakefront than O'Hare, certainly if you don't drive a car. You can get to Midway with only two rail rides, or a speedy Uber trip on LSD->Stevenson.
