And on the other side - making families board with everyone else creates a giant bottleneck when mom or dad is trying to install a carseat and holds up everyone behind them.
Pre-boarding is essential for families with kids still in "restraint seats", because of install times, but should not happen for families with children large enough to sit in the regular seat.
Also, mondo: griping about handicapped people pre-boarding - GFY.

Nice. When the plane lands I'll stand 8 rows back ready to go while you play with your carseat and luggage for 10 min.

Who said anything about de-planing? I've never once seen a family with a child restraint de-plane in normal fashion. They sit until everyone is off and then leave.
I'm chairman's club on usair two years running, so it's not like I've not been on just one or two flights.
I have however been stuck behind families boarding with normal passengers and had to stand in line for 10-15 minutes while a flustered mom installs two car seats. It tilts everyone and delays takeoff.
