re: Do you like the non-assigned seats on Southwest?

Southwest’s system is uniquely gamed by fake cripples. Every SWA flight i take has 5-6+ wheelchairs pre-boarding and remarkably almost all of these idiots get up and walk off the plane after landing.

I actually prefer the pre-boarding process to that of other airlines. With other airlines, once boarding begins, 100 people go cram their way around the line even if they are Zone 4. With Southwest, you at least have orderly lines to board in your particular group.
I am continually surprised that an airline has not found a more efficient boarding method than our current setup though. There is an absolutely massive incentive to being able to trim 5-10 minutes off the boarding time of each flight. My Southwest flight yesterday took 1 hour to get everyone boarded. It was full of confrontations for seat saving, etc.

Pre boarding isn't just for people who can't walk, wheelchair or not. Many times a wheelchair may be provided even if it's not the reason a passenger is pre-boarding. I pre-board and used to check in at the gate before each flight (not so much anymore) and each time I was asked if I wanted a wheelchair. Some may not be unable to walk or stand but want to be seated so that they can access the boarding ramp when the time comes. Regardless of the boarding method, for some reason people are compelled to stand around the boarding area before they can board or even asked to line up and it makes things unnecessarily congested.

I fly almost weekly. The SWA attendants call this phenomenon the "southwest miracle", while the United attendants refer to is as "jetway Jesus".

MSY is the worst for this. You can always count on 5-6 of the usual suspects in wheelchairs who board before everyone else. Last time I flew SW at least the gate agent didn't let the 4 able bodied people board with the "handicapped" person.
