Yep, there it is, five layers down. How sensible. How useful.
Symbolic links (whatever the OS X term for it) should make that
irrelevant.
They are called aliases. They existed in OS 9 and earlier, too, so
Andrew should be familiar with them.
There is also every opportunity to add shortcuts to your most
frequently-used folders to the Finder toolbar or sidebar.
Many UNIX command-line shells, for instance, accept "cd" [ENTER] as
the command to take you to your home directory. I would not doubt
that there isn't something very similar implemented in OS X at the
GUI level, similar to Microsoft's ill-named "My Documents" folder.
Every home folder includes (by default) "Applications" (usable by you
only, as opposed to applications in the Macintosh HD/Applications
folder), "Desktop" (each user has their own desktop), "Documents,"
"Library," "Movies," Music," "Pictures," "Public," and "Sites". If you
like, you can remove any of these without ill effects EXCEPT
"Documents," "Library," and "Public". (Provided you have instructed
iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, etc that you are changing their default
folders.)
You should treat your HOME directory as the root of all your data
storage.
Yes, that's what I've been saying.
It's probably a lot easier than you think, and mysterious only
because you simply haven't learned about it yet.
That's also true.
