I seriously have a couple of friends who go through a constant process of downloading the game, having it go black screen of death, and then having to wait for the next patch to have it fixed. Idk exactly what causes the black screen of death, or if there's ANY way to fix it (if its not one of the apparently obvious reasons why), but I do know that 90% of the problem could at least be resolved manually if we could actually have access to the files so we could rip them out, delete them, and reinstall. Unfortunately, unless you know where to look, the only thing you can do is remove the shortcut from the desktop (which does nothing from what I've seen).
Because right now the files get installed to some ******** directory... like C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming or something, which is hidden. Which I can only find half the time through a very tedious search. Idk the first thing about telling my friend how to find it on his mac.
Point is, most programs have an uninstall function. Or an easily access the program files in... Program Files. I understand if this might just be a shortcut or something that makes it compatible with more formats, since I don't think Mac OS or Linux follows the same structure Windows does, but there needs to be... something that makes it easier to uninstall, fix, reboot, alter, etc. the files of the game.
You only really need to find it once. If you are that lazy to go through the same steps as before, just make a short-cut leading to the .minecraft folder. I made one and labeled it minecraft stuff. I also made one for the different skins that I use.

I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death, Nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works

It's not reasonable to always show hidden files when the huge amount of them clogs up an already difficult to navigate windows filesystem.
