We'll see them again. As "html5" becomes more common place, there will be more and more image/animation intensive pages. Already, there are preloaders going on image driven sites, which are no more annoying than a splash page.
Also, a splash page introduces a the identity/brand, so a single image/logo/ sentence can be seen, recognized and more memorable the the extremely annoying and rampant proliferation of WordPress-looking blogs (enough already with the slideshow at top, 3 columns and a billion tags/links at the bottom! I'll take a splash page and creative intro any day).
Hopefully things will evolve, there's some nice minimalist work out there (though they might as well have a splash page, it is just integrated into the main site vs. a separate pop-up/window, which was annoying).
