That might be more because finder is so bad and less to do with file management GUIs in general. Windows Explorer and Nautilus are both much better than finder.
Imagine using Windows Explorer...
Right Click -> New Folder
Choosing the files you want to move there -> CTRL+C -> Going into the directory -> CTRL+V
Yeah that’s just the best and most efficient way to move files into a new directory.
You can also drag and drop
Creating new folder or moving/copying files can be done in two clicks with ribbon buttons.
Dolphin from KDE is also excellent.
Windows Explorer is terrible. I used Norton Commander>windows commander>total commander>double commander my whole life. It's as fast as your keyboard gets. I cringe when I see people navigating files I'm Explorer.
