The real problem is navigating to the file... I can tab complete or otherwise hop my way around my hard drive much faster than I can visually find a target to click on (and frankly I am shocked that isn't true of everyone who knows how to use a terminal--obviously I appreciate the "easy for beginners" aspect--I feel like the GUI could only possibly be faster for a contrived use case that would never come up in reality... oh, I have one: if the files you are organizing are all images and they have useful previews! I totally use the GUI file manager to organize photo albums... but of course I am barely using the mouse as I do so ;P).
