I would say it's pretty important -- having both at the same time is
mutually distracting, and the message no longer pops as a
punchline/finale. But I would like others to chime in on this. 

Perhaps an acceptable alternative would be to do the animation without
printing the success message in the status window, and then following
the animation print the message on standard out before quitting?

I have not playtested this yet, but that sounds great.

Thanks again for all your contributions!
