Roger,
It is not only perfectly possible to manage all the files on your
system using the command line, it is indispensable.

For example, find all the directories in a filesystem containing the
characters "42a".
This is a multi-terabyte filesystem, containing thousands of files.
I had to do this at work this morning.
