And I use the free/ shareware (remember that term!) app TinkerTool to set a bunch of settings like this.

Not sure if it's available for Mavericks yet.

Hi Mavericks "adoptees",

Mavericks hides the user Library folder ( ~/Library) by default, just as Lion and Mountain Lion do. You can open it easily enough by holding down *Option *while choosing Library from the Finder's*Go* menu, or you can use*Terminal.app *and**type the command "chflags nohidden ~/Library" (without the quotes) and hit*Enter* and your User Library shows in Finder.

Mavericks introduces an easier way to make the user Library folder visible all the time---no more fiddling in Terminal. All you need to do is* open your Home Folder in its own window*, choose*View > Show View Options*, and select the "*Show Library Folder" *checkbox.

I would imagine Mavericks will behave the same way Mountain Lion & Lion do; so ever time an update appears (10.9.1 or 10.9.2), the User Library will be re-hidden and you'll have to repeat this procedure... but it will be much quicker than having to go into Terminal every time after each update to the OS to have ~/Library folder visible all the time.

Cheers,
Ronni
