It is indeed a matter of taste and aesthetics. One reason I prefer Plan 9 is the Bell Labs aesthetics, as opposed to the so called "complete" solution aesthetic of other design philosophies which are slaves to some orthogonality or other, is the small is beautiful aesthetic. I've been using Plan 9 for 25 years and find the du solution quite attractive. I subscribe to the ideas in "Cat -v considered harmful" paper by Pike and prefer to build commands out of a smaller number of primitives.

By the way, if your using p9p you already have find(1) on the system on which you're hosting the acme execution environment.
