A good TUI-based file manager is way quicker than typical GUI's while still preserving much of the same intuition. Whether it's also quicker than the CLI depends on your use case; in some cases it can be.

Even GUI's can be as fast or faster then terminal if it's not oriented around visually searching and selecting each step in the path.

Indeed, TUI and GUI are not mutually exclusive to begin with.
