| Cross-platform consistency | ❌ (behavior may vary) | ✅ |
| Large file handling | ✅ (but may require additional tools) | ✅ (optimized) |
| Speed for simple concatenations | ✅ (generally faster) | ✅ (may have slight overhead) |
| Requires external tools for complex tasks | ✅ (often used with find, xargs, etc.) | ❌ (all-in-one solution) |
