Sometimes a GUI is faster for me, especially when I'm not 100% sure where things are or there are many files to select.

A terminal file manager has a GUI that works everywhere, including over SSH sessions (OK, technically could use X forwarding, but it's slow).

nnn takes care of these already. I don't think you would see a difference once you get used to.
