Maybe, but welcome screens can be made to give much more confidence in the application, and to avoid getting in the way of the user's desire to explore: http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qtcreator-2.6/creator-quick-tour.html The most important points are: * Non-modal (although plenty of functionality may be unavailable until the user engages with the dialog) * Colourful: we want to avoid overworking the logic, reading, information processing, etc... part of the user's brain: plenty of large recognisable images make it more engaging.
