In Lion, the user Library is hidden by default. But you can still get there easily if you need to. In Terminal, you can type open ~/Library. Or, you can hold the option key down while selecting the Go menu in the Finder. This adds the Library to that menu and you can select it.

Lion includes Launchpad, a new way to find and run applications. You can view the icons of all your applications quickly by running Launchpad and flipping between pages of icons similar to the Home screens on the iPad and iPhone. You can organize your icons in app folders. Apps purchased in the Mac App Store are automatically added to Launchpad. But using Launchpad is optional as you can still run applications using the Dock and other methods.
