heater sucks.

Im not very knowledgeable about the whole cooling/heating system so this may be a no brainer for you guys. Here goes. My heater takes freakin forever to heat up. Then if im at idle at a light, it goes cool again. The only time i can actually get it hot is if im driving down the highway for about 15 minutes. Now last winter it would heat up pretty quick, and stay hot all the time. Ive replaced a lot of stuff since then, including water pump and the thermostat. Both work fine as far as i can tell, no leaks or anything. The temp gauge shows the temp go up and stay in the middle after driving for a few minutes. what am i missing?

I would suspect a clogged heater core too.
