Magento seems to have lots of email templates to send a variety of different messages based on user activities: registration, password recovery, order, shipment, etc.

Where can I find all the email templates so I can customize them ALL and never miss one of them to avoid looking bad when the user sees a poorly worded default template?

Are they all located in one location / directory?

app/locale/en_US/template/email/ is the default place/locale. You should not customize them in the filesystem, or if you do, plan on protecting & merging when you upgrade.

You can customize them (albeit somewhat wonkily) via System > Transactional Emails. In this area you select the base file for your locale and alter the content, which is then stored in the database.
