The same seems to apply to /Users/~/Applications. Since the User Applications folder is gone (or hidden?) it makes no sense to have the ~ / Library folder visible because that folder contained settings for /Users/~/Applications, i.e. applications that had been installed for one user only.

Is software installed differently now in Lion than it used to be in previous versions of the OS? Is the option to install software for one user only now gone? Or in other words, do I now have to install all software in /Applications and then try to sort and group it using Launchpad?
