Strange thing. It used to be available under Snow Leopard.
Open terminal, and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Then, type:
killall Finder
And press Enter.
Now, you should be able to see all the hidden folders.

No need to enable seeing ALL hidden folders.
If you want to unhide the ~/Library folder just:
1) Open Terminal
2) Type: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Your Library folder will now be shown all the time.

I get that Apple is thinking of novice users here, but I think this decision is too drastic. There are too many reasons normal people need to use it. Steam puts its entire folder here, as does Crossover, and I imagine many other apps as well. A warning dialog (with an option to disable) would've been a better choice.
