I was just thinking about this issue today. I have a DKR-JFK flight coming up and am torn between my exit row aisle (36D) for more legroom in flight or a Comfort+ aisle closer to the front for quicker deplaning. I am one of those people who thinks the few minutes between door opening and my stepping foot on the jetbridge feels as long as the TATL flight. This is magnified when it seems every row in front of me has trouble getting their bags down. collecting their children, etc, etc

Unfortunately, as mentioned upthread, the only real solution is to use the rear doors as well. I love it when this happens, but it's almost never in the US.
