A GUI is a hell of a lot faster for certain classes of file browsing and
manipulation, so it is convienient then.

You use the GUI until it becomes a liability, and then fire off a shell.

Likewise you can use a CLI until it becomes a liability, and just fire
up your favorite GUI file browser wherever you currently are.

Most good UNIX GUI file tools work well with the shell.
