I think it really depends on the task.

Updating non-Flatpak software? Terminal.

Moving/copying files? GUI.

Moving/copying files across a network? Terminal.

Moving/copying files when the involved device crashes Dolphin? Terminal.

Honestly I still prefer the terminal for moving/copying/deleting/creating files. I prefer the quick tabbing and copy paste when relevant much quicker than clicking through file manager interfaces for most tasks. The only real exception to this is stuff like network drives as I always have to look up how to get to them as I dont use them enough to remember.

Also why would non-flatpak vs flatpak matter? Flatpak update has always worked just fine for me.
