As a user, a brief splash screen gives me a little

This is very much my view too.
It also tells me that if the program is not working
correctly
after that, then I should start it from the command line
and trouble shoot it from there.
Most of what Harry stated in is post seems fine with me.
I would add that the splash should be fairly small, informative, and if
possible carry occasional status messages.
As soon as the main interface shows, the splash should disappear.
Possibly, set it with a short-ish timer, so if it doesn't get updates from the
application it disappears anyway, possibly after a short delay with a failure
message.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
