No way to stop Home or Recent Project on launch?

[ShawnTierney]

I'm fairly new to Premiere Pro, and I'm hoping the developers are not so bad that I have to choose either the Home screen or opening the Most Recent project every day when I open Premiere Pro?!?

Please tell me this isn't true - I though we left horrible designs like this back in the 80's?

Really, why would they not include the option, "just open the dang software so I choose what I want to work on and get some work done" which is the default mode for EVERY other software package I use?!?

I think the difference is that in AE you can go to the program screen and do something, (add a comp, work from scratch). PP seems to need a project, thus when you go to bare program screen, there's nothing to do, except open a project (new or existing), or using the help menu.

I take it that's a fundamental thing PP has since the beginning. So, not much point in not opening the Home screen, you're an ESCape key away from the raw, I can do nothing except open a project, but you can open a recent or easily create a new .prproj on the home screen.
