Well, splash screens are intended to make a long wait seem shorter, and 
KOffice apps are supposed to be instant-on. Besides, Patrick Julien really 
hated having to wait for an app -- hence no splashscreens and that async code 
to load brushes etc. (Not that that isn't very useful when running Krita 
under valgrind).

Me myself, I like splashscreens. They're a kind of friendly message from the 
apps authors to the users, and for a graphics app a way to get the users to 
contribute to the app. Like I said recently, if Krita had been called 
Kandinsky instead (which was a strong suggestion at the time of the great 
renaming), I'd go for splash-screens for sure. Maybe even a collection of 
random splashes for every release.
