In unix every text file is basically a (possibly degenerate, Nx1) matrix and every row is terminated (and demarcated) by a newline. This makes it much easier to filter, concatenate and rearrange rows. Try rewriting this:
cat <(cmd1...) <(cmd2...) >> some_output
for a world without final terminating newlines.
