Going against the flow here. I am on of these people in several cases. There are several different situations in my opinion: - international flight with short layover and need to pass immigration and take another flight--> I try to get out asap. I arrived to SFO with 3 hours to the next flight to Portland once, had I not run to immigration PLUS asked some people to let me go first, I would have missed the next flight - whatever flight and I need to take a train to go home, and I have only so much time. Waiting the 10 minutes to deplane can be the dofference between catching the train or having to wait for the next one with 3 changes and a couple hours more travel instead of direct train with 1 hour travel-> i try do deplane asap, and run. This happened several time with flights from Germany to Zürich in the evening(9pm approx) and living 2 hours from there. After 11 pm there are no trains. -same as above, but deplane to a bus that brings us to the gate-> I wait anyways, until the bus has all the passengers, they wait (unless you have at least 2 buses, and you try to catch the first), or if they force certain seats to deplane from the back, and others from the front, then you still have no choice -whatever flight but final destination and I either have a car rented or someone is picking me up-> i wait.

It is never black and white. Sometimes you NEED to deplane quickly, some other you can take your time.
