(i) AppKit _can_ be used in CLI tools;
(ii) NSWorkspace offers (or at the very least offered in OpenStep, I haven't
checked whether Apple crippled it or not) a number of services for file
management too: copying, moving, compressing, encryption (if supported).

As for the difference betwixt those NSWorkspace file management methods and
those NSFileManager ones, well: the former use the standard file management
application, the later system services directly.
