Hi, Joel,
not in this discussion, but since you asked generally I feel addressed:
I do hate splash-screens with passion. I can't stand programs
forcefully "treating" me to such a thing: when I invoke a program, I
have something I want to do. The splash screen is (to me) very
disrupting in this flow. On the plus side, there's nothing (after the
first few invocations of the program, at least). I'b being re-told
innumerable times things I already know (or can easily look up in the
docs).
The worst species are those programs that try to hide that they are slow
and bloated with a little ad show. I don't use those unless I really
must.
Regards
