Following trends, it is easy to imagine a future Desktop becoming an

is never underestimate Apple's ability to change and force our world
to recompile. 10.6 just killed off an entire CPU line. Wait for OS
10.7 my friend, the Finder, she is nice now, yes? :-)
(sigh) I believe Kyle was right. You're just making things up.
As others have told you, dot-files being hidden is a convention
that's been around for many, many years. Apple continues to find new
uses for it with every release (.fseventsd, .Spotlight-
V100, .Trashes ...), and many of the tools installed as part of the
BSD subsystem use it as well (.ssh/)
