I mean, on a Linux distribution (Ubuntu and co, at least), a simple Ctrl+H takes less than a second to be done. For a Unix based OS, I think having to open a terminal and write a command line to do such a simple and quite useful thing is not really handy, alas… But well, no choice!

You only have to do it once; then hidden files are visible forever (or until you run the command to hide them again). I keep hidden files visible on my systems all the time. Very convenient.

If you routinely want to toggle the visibility of hidden files for some reason, I'm sure you can write a script to automate it.
