Okay, seriously, this is asinine.
I just "upgraded" to the latest 9.3.1 and I went to edit my hosts
file. I hit "File->Open Hidden" and ... hey, wait, NO hidden files
are showing!
I'm like, WTF, why aren't you showing my hidden files?!?
I cancel out and hit "File->Open" to see if, on the off chance, that
it might show my hidden files there. Nope, not there either.
So, I have to go back to the finder and nav to the etc folder manually
so I can drag my hosts file onto BBEdit.
When I'm done, I check the internets to find out that you've added a
checkbox to Show Hidden Files. WTF!??!?!

The two options serve different purposes. The File->Open Hidden is
designed to parse the directory and only show Hidden Files. The Check
Box is to display hidden files in addition to the normal ones when
you use Open. The problem is that the state of the check box should
not be consulted when you do an Open Hidden only when you do an Open.
When checked ALL files in the directory should be displayed while
when unchecked only normal files should display. As noted, Open
Hidden should ALWAYS display all the hidden files.
