Blame windows.
people these days are trained to think that no output means something
didn't work. Personally, I'm of the mindset that if you don't have
something useful to say, don't say it. I trust that the program is going
to work if I run it, because it was designed to work. If it needs to
tell me something ("hey, I broke, and here's why!") it will.
More people should expect the system to Just Work(tm) unless told
otherwise. I don't want happy status messages filling my screen with crap.
