Definitely! It is also much slower, though, especially if you need to add "-L 1". I prefer to try first that way, if the argument list is too long, then try xargs. On the other hand, the limitations on the command lenght of modern shells are idiotic. The only limitation should be the amount of available RAM, not an artificially imposed limit.
