You would loose ability to autostart XBMC, but you get some new iOS features. I bet you can find list of new features all around the internet. Accually I just updated one of my ATV2's by mistake I'm not happy with it 'cos ability to autostart XBMC was a killing feature for me.

ios 5 sucks more resources. If all you use it for is XBMC i highly recommend to never upgrade.

Is the better performance a common thing? I have no reason to upgrade to ios 5, but if it makes xbmc work smoother, then I'm all in...

I have my SHSH blobs for both my ATV 2's. I might just give it a try because I can always go back.
Thoughts?

Am I missing something?
I have answered that one multiple times now - please search the forum. In a nutshell - no we can't change that - and if you look closer its the same on all other atv2 apps too (no look again - its the same - NO REALLY look again - its the same for all!).
Netflix doesn't do that, select Netflix and it goes straight in.
Unless you are including the internal menu inside Netflix?
I swear, I will ban the next person who bitches about this. If it's so easy to fix then show us.

Pardon? I wasn't bitching and never said I could fix it.
Memphiz said that all other atv2 apps do the same, I said Netflix doesn't unless he/she is referring to the internal Netflix selection menu.

Yes i do. There is no app without a submenu. And there was never an app without submenu on iOS 4.3 either.
