I detest splash screens that pointless delay the application start vs. just being something to look at while the application naturally starts in the background. I'm very surprised and disappointed in Microsoft that Visual Studio's splash screen is actually an application delayer. MonoDevelop's splash screen is a useful/appropriate one, as it shows a progress bar indicating how far along it is in the application load process. My biggest "starting Visual Studio" annoyance is the frequent "Visual Studio 2008 is configuring the environment for first time use" message. I suspect it has something to do with our wonky roaming profile configuration at work. Looking at that message for a minute a handful of times a week is very obnoxious.
