This question surprised me a bit - but I have no clue about where to locate my extension directory!!
Is there a simple way to reliably locate it (either programatically or via the UI)?

You can find your extension directory by going to Administer menu » System Settings » Directories and checking the value for the "Extensions" directory. If there's a token like [civicrm.root], you can determine its value with this technique.

In PHP it looks like this is what I need:
return (new CRM_Extension_System())->getDefaultContainer()->baseDir;
So in bash I can use cv:
cv ev 'return (new CRM_Extension_System())->getDefaultContainer()->baseDir'
or better still, as pointed out be Tim:
cv ev 'return CRM_Core_Config::singleton()->extensionsDir'
which means this one liner will take you to the directory:
cd `cv ev 'return CRM_Core_Config::singleton()->extensionsDir;' --out=pretty`

I happened to find this way as the simplest but if there is a non-programtic way that would be awesome! Commented Jan 23, 2017 at 0:35

(1) That's a clever way. FWIW, the traditional PHP snippet find the default container is
CRM_Core_Config::singleton()->extensionsDir;. (2) Coincidentally, I've been mulling a form of this problem in github.com/civicrm/cv/pull/14 Commented Jan 23, 2017 at 20:03
