Show hidden files, Mac OS X

Mac OS X's Finder annoyingly does not seem to have a GUI option to show/hide hidden files/folders in the file system. But it can be done through the terminal, easily enough:

To show hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

To hide hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

Not too bad, right? Credits to:
