Like a lot of people I think I activated inhibit-startup-screen because it’s ugly and tedious to always have your emacs horizontally split when you open a file with half taken by an useless startup screen… But I notice I find it better/more beautifull/helpfull/useful than just an unique void scratch buffer when I open Emacs without opening a file…

So is there a way so that this startup screen shows up only when there’s nothing else to show up? as when the scratch buffer is displayed at startup? instead of it? and not to show up if I open a file or run a command like gnus or erc?

How to show startup screen instead of scratch, when no file is opened?
