When I fly AA they will assign a gate almost at 24 hours before departure but it will often change several times before I actually fly.
On Delta, I've found they typically wait a little longer before assigning a gate.

I don't mind either way.

I hate it. You are forced to stay in a crowded "mall" area (unless you have lounge access) until your gate is announced in hopes that you will spend more money.

Calgary built a new terminal with such a system a few years ago and everyone hated it to the point where they had to make adjustments.

Don’t like it at all either, even with lounge access at LHR.

same here, I hate having to stay somewhere in the middle just to ensure that I am not too far from my gate. LHR is not my favorite airport

Funny you mention that because that seems to be what happens literally all the time on AA.
