What's wrong with cat? Sure it's superfluous but what makes it *bad*? Personally I often prefer the pipe "cat x | y" form to "x < y"... or "< y x". There seems to be a militant "cat is evil" attitude where I feel it's just normally just people who want to show others they know more bash than they do.
