You don't have to type the names, you only need the first character + tab. To me that's much faster than reading through a list of folders trying to find and click the right one.
In case one of those folders only contain one other folder, you don't even have to type the first character, just tab+tab+tab done.

In case there's only one item, just press the down-arrow key to select it. One can navigate a GUI just like CLIs, just with slightly different keys, but with the added benefits of visualization and mouse actions such as drag-and-drop. Edit: * Unless you're using GNOME's Nautilus, which I think will stupidly trigger a recursive search instead.
