In Windows 2000 it was. In XP it actually took me a couple of tries  
to find it... they really want to encourage you to use their software  
by choice... and of course in Panther and Tiger the Applications  
folder is right there in the hateful sidebar. Click the "smiley face"  
instead of "Start" to see it.

I have a folder in my Dock that looks like this:

lrwxr-xr-x   1 peter  peter  13 Jun  2 09:21 Applications -> / 
Applications
lrwxr-xr-x   1 peter  peter  23 Jun  2 09:21 Developer -> /Developer/ 
Applications
-rw-r--r--   1 peter  peter   0 Jun  2 11:16 Icon?
lrwxr-xr-x   1 peter  peter  19 Jun  2 09:21 My Applications -> / 
Local/Applications

Apple needs to make this a smart folder that's right next to the  
smiley face, that you can drag stuff into and that gives you a menu  
on click
There's stuff above here
