The two welcome screens provide two different set of features. The Ubuntu Welcome screen is focusing on Ubuntu Touch and the default Qt welcome screen gives shortcuts for recently edited projects, templates and help.

I would like to see the Qt and Ubuntu welcome screens _combined_. In my opinion just dropping the Qt Welcome screen is not a polite move and if the Ubuntu Welcome screen does not provide the same functionality then it could be seen as regression.

My suggestions are:
* use the default Qt icon with the small Ubuntu logo as the icon for the unified welcome screen
* make sure that the welcome screen provides access to
  ** recent projects
  ** project templates
  ** example libraries (both Qt and Ubuntu Touch)
  ** tutorial libraries (both Qt and Ubuntu Touch)
  ** getting started page for QtCreator
  ** Ubuntu Touch design guidelines
  ** Ubuntu Touch API documentation
 ** information about mailing lists and IRC channels

Until the point we have all these features available from a single welcome screen I rather see two pages in the QtCreator then dropping features for the sake of having only one welcome screen.
