      It’s not terrible once you learn the muscle memory.

      I’m sure there’s some obscure key bind to go directly there, but I just do Cmd+Shift+G in Finder to get to the browse to path dialog, type ~, and hit return.

      Still a stupid extra amount of work, but at least it’s not having to use my mouse, typing %USERPROFILE%, or having to type the absolute path. That would piss me off even more.

        It’s just Cmd+Shift+H (for Home). The shortcuts for many of the most common locations are extremely intuitive.

        • Cmd+Shift+A (Applications)
        • Cmd+Shift+D (Desktop)
        • Cmd+Shift+L (~/Library)
        • Cmd+Shift+C (Computer)

      Finder > Go > Home

      Been that way for decades. Or you can add it to the sidebar by dragging and dropping, or just edit Finder prefs:

      Finder > Preferences > Sidebar

      Microsoft only started showing the Home folder by default in 11 I believe so it’s a pretty common pattern to not reveal the home folder (for some asinine reason).

      First thing I do on any OS is build my own folder structure under my home.
