There is a difference between having a splash screen the whole time, and adding one (well two) after a long while.

Removing a feature is far more noticable.

The least it could do is load the modfiles in the background instead of doing nothing at all until you click or it times out.
It is a pity that so many programs don't start right away when you click go. Just get a move on, show the logos in a nonintrusive way that dosen't slow things down, I say. Take pride in your work, but not on my time.

I know this is out of proportion, but its a pet peeve of mine.
So, I stick with 1.91 as an upgrade from 1.94+ where possible.
