How exactly is that a problem? You can open an open file dialog that is in the user's home directory and you can even select ".bash_profile" for them. All they have to do is click "OK" to start editing it. This gives them the security that your app can't just go and erase or overwrite or add malicious stuff to their .bash_profile without their consent, which seems like a really good idea!

> Apple's implementation of sandboxing actually makes computer users less secure. All the good software is distributed away from the App Store, because sandboxed apps are far too limited (especially regarding the filesystem).

Nonsense. The vast majority of users don't need software that does wacky stuff with the file system. They need software that opens documents they made, which all software in the app store can do. I'm a pro (the kind that currently owns the Mac Pro and will likely own the next one or the iMac Pro next), and I basically avoid all software that's not from the App Store. Your ranting sounds delusional to me.
