I also use cd / mv / cp / rm, but sometimes Finder (macOS) / Explorer (win) / Dolphin (kde) works better.

Not for other humans, for me as well.

It has all those shiny colors, icons, columns, drag & drop, that makes it easier and faster, when you have more complicated task.

I guess it all depends, but GUI in general is a step forward.




In my experience, the converse is true. Finder/Explorer makes only already easy tasks like cd/mv/cp/rm easier, but terminal is much better for more complicated operations, such as mass renaming, data file preprocessing, etc.
