It saves key strokes.
Eg. to compare two log files with ediff-buffers.
(Our log files at work are sometimes really big, loading them
one by one is much less convenient than typing
emacs FILE FILE2. Until emacs has finished loading them the user
can do something else.)
Another example: One experienced Emacs user at work often starts
Emacs with 3 or more arguments when he's starting to work in a
specific project evironment, because he knows, he will work on
all that files the next hours.

Ps: I like the new splash screen.
PPs: The splash screen doesn't show up, when Emacs is started
with the '-f' option and a non-existing name.
Eg: emacs <file> -f grhrjr.
Is this supposed to be a workaround of the "splash screen
annoyance"? ;-)
