Yeah, DFW's highway system is very good, but is not designed to hold the ~6.5 million residents + visitors. It's not as bad as Austin, but it's still a hassle driving through all of it.

I used to work across from Northpark, but even then, I rarely got caught in "bad" traffic. It usually took me ~20-25 minutes to get from Irving/Las Colinas to that area.
Now I have to take 161 to 190 to the Tollway (
). I know the tollroads have less congestion than the freeways, so I can't imagine making that drive on the freeways (Someone suggested that I take Loop 12 to 35 to 635 to Preston or 75. I almost spit on that person).

Now my commute is just down the hall to the kids' rooms.
