For users in the field, the command line is the badlands, and we can’t expect many users to be comfortable doing that. Trashing a file is at least something they can understand, even if sometimes even that can be an ordeal getting them to the ~/Library/Preferences folder, now it’s hidden by default. Really, Apple are supposed to be the champions of the average user aren’t they? Have they talked to any recently? Honestly, it would serve everyone well if every developer served a month in a call centre. I guess we’re going to have to put a button somewhere that’s going to do this for them.
