Well, since we haven't seen the OP's answer here, I'll offer my POV,
which will be similar to his:

when just calling Emacs in a command line (or invoking it from a GUI menu
or similar), the splash screen is definitely no problem. When calling
"emacs foo" (or likewise when Emacs is called from a GUI program with a
filename argument, as from a GUI program or a mail program), it is a
definite annoyance.

As a more concrete example: I'm using Pine as a mail user agent. Just
imagine having to go through the Emacs splash screen for every mail I
compose.
