I'm in favor of whatever has broad support and is least surprising for users. I like CREATE_NO_WINDOW, which is restricted to console applications. The alternative is hiding the window, like what we do with shell=True. But the new option would also hide the main window of many GUI apps, which may come as a surprise and is hardly ever desired behavior.
