Is the upgrade to v4 worth it?

I'm strongly considering reverting to V3 - 1. The project window that appears can't be closed at start-up is a ******* nuisance, I don't want to start a project I want to open gedcom files.

1911 Census

So far two families with wrongly indexed surnames, one wrongly spelt placename and six families I haven't been able to find - presumably more wrongly indexed names. Maybe I'm unlucky but at the moment that works out at 36% of households with indexing errors.
