Once again, of course not premined is better than premined in general, but do you expect a group of highly skilled developers sit and create a new innovative coin (copycat coins are total shit no matter premined or not premined and excluded from my argument) without any profit or return for their work, so the coin get released to the prey of the above-mentioned type of miners who are ready there at the gate to receive, pump-dump and then kill it??!
Uh, yes I do expect developers to make it without a scam. Namecoin, ppcoin, and primecoin didn't have any premine drama. Some people say bitcoin had "premining", but that's mainly just because it took a long time for anyone to even notice bitcoin after it was released.
