Ohhh, you get it all wrong (I think). The Library and Preferences
and such directories are old Mac faithful. Library is the System
folder.
This is totally to keep the old mac faithful happy. And also IMHO a
very good design.

Still reckon that hardly any people use this feature. And I don't
like menus
that seem redundant most of the time. Strikes of bad design to me,

no Next..
Talkig of which there are other things in OSX that I suspect are a
legacy of
NEXT - what about the ridiculous directory system in OSX -library/
etc/ etc
In a modern supposedly user friendly OS, such directories should
have been
consigned to the bin. ( scuse english unix pun - that's trashcan
to you
yanks )
All those user preferences and bitty files related to an application
shouldn't be sprayed across the OS - windoze style- they should
have been
put inside a "compartment" of the Application bundle. A single icon
for the
Application, resources, drivers , logs and preferences should have
been the
"Apple" way. Why Jobs ever let the current OSX directory nightmare
happen
beats me.
Ok.... That's my rant for today over.. ;)
