Maybe its just perception because SWA planes are old and ugly while Jetblue has nice new ones.

Southwest has old planes? While they still have a handful of some old -200s around, they have received something like 150 new -700s since 1998 and have a few hundred more on order. In fact I see more -700s than I do -300/500s. The new ones are sharp and have very comfortable blue leather seats. In fact just before Christmas I flew on (what was then) Southwests' newest airplane, delivered less than two weeks earlier. Nice ride.

But there is some reality to your perception, the A320 family is wider than the 737s, even though they have the same 3x3 layout.
