Solution 1:
Holding ⇧ and/or ⌥ while resizing a window retains the aspect ratio and/or anchors the windows center, respectively.
Solution 2:
Finder move is now similar to Cut and Paste
⌘+C to copy the file/folder (nothing new here).
⌘+⌥+V will then paste the file/folder at the new location, and delete it from the old location.
Solution 3:
To get into the contents of the user's now hidden Library folder.
While in Finder view click on the "Go" menu item, and then click on the ⌥ key - and you'll find the Library folder.
Alternately the Library Folder (or any other folder) can be unhidden with the command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
in Terminal.app - to hide a folder, just use hidden instead of nohidden
