I should be able to EASILY search for ALL files. Au contraire. You ever try to support non-technical users? They search for files and move them or trash them thinking they're just junk. And then their System won't boot. Hiding the Library made a lot of pain go away for everyone. Anyone experienced enough to be able to diagnose a corrupt pref and toss it, is experienced enough to learn how to search for hidden files or directories.

I should be able to EASILY search for ALL files. Here's an easy solution. Launch Terminal and type… "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true" "killall Finder" The reverse is "defaults delete com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles" "killall Finder" Personally I find that exposing all of the hidden files creates such a mess that I gladly keep it in the factory hidden condition.
