I would like to hear a good argument for why hidden files and folders are a good thing.
They keep users from monkeying with stuff until they are smart enough to find the hidden files.

- bdunbar 14y agoNo, 'smart' is the right word.
- Xcelerate 14y agoWhy is that? As a long time Windows user who only recently switched to a Unix system, I was unfamiliar with dot files. Windows uses a different method to hide files. Would you call me stupid because of that? Once I gained the knowledge I needed, these files were no longer a mystery (in fact I learned that there are actually three ways to hide files in Unix systems).
