"It's better to screw your experts than to screw your novices."... I think  
Steve Jobs said that...   But all expert mode really does is let you see  
normally invisible folder and files.  Perhaps you really don't prefer expert  
mode!  If the reason you use expert mode is to get to /usr or /tmp or  
something, then take them out of the /.hidden file.

Putting them in a library folder is a hack since some people don't want a  
library folder cluttering up their home directories, and some people (like me)  
don't want a lot of trash cluttering up their library folders...  I use the  
library folder for a lot of stuff...
