There's a simple reason that even expert computer users still use the GUI for these types of tasks (copying, moving and deleting files/folders).
It is much faster to switch to the right directory path via a gui than typing out the entire path on the command line. (most times you are already using a gui based file explorer anyway) so the right context is already there in front of you.
It is just too slow to type everything for most users.
The only faster workflow I can think is a gui launcher/searcher (like launchy on windows, spotlight on mac) that "learn" your habits.
