I don't use GUI file explorers that much, but I have to point out even Windows Explorer has path autocompletion.

Just like using CLIs does not preclude using a mouse, using GUIs does not preclude using keyboard shortcuts ;)

Quick Explorer example (sometimes I mix and match, maybe I want to show something to a colleague):

explorer . # does what you'd expect; alternatively Win-e

Alt-d # focus path in Explorer

Start typing, Explorer autocompletes stuff

Enter

Tab around, if need be, to change panels

And this is with what is, basically, the dumbest common GUI file manager out there :)
