tab completion is your friend. Really. Get to know it. like this:
cd /h[tab]eg[tab]sr[tab]p[tab]mo[tab]so[tab][enter] will get me into /home/eggled/src/python/modules/socket_programming_test/ Once you have the muscle memory in place and are using tab effectively, it will be much faster than any of the graphical tools if you know where you are going. If you need to really browse and look, hitting tab twice will show a list of the directory to help you on your way. And ungodly amount of typing isn't any more necessary than an ungodly number of clicks.
