Some, particularly those who lean to the design side of things but still do a lot of coding, think spatially. For us, navigating the mouse to a specific point in space is faster, or at least less jarring mentally, than thinking of the name of a path to a file. The spatial and muscle memory takes care of switching to the file, allowing other high-level thoughts to stay in context.
It's the same issue I have with working in the terminal. Even after years I still find it very slow to navigate, because I always have to stop and think of the actual names and type them (partly) out, instead of letting my spatial and visual pattern matching do its thing.
