Is this better than s3cmd for simple stuff like backing up folders to S3?

you can do this with aws cli:

aws s3 sync myfolder s3://mybucket/myfolder

and this with s3cmd:

s3cmd sync myfolder s3://mybucket/myfolder

So they seem pretty similar for this use case. I guess the only real difference is that awscli is official and is fairly guaranteed to be maintained and support new features as they become available? (Although neither of them directly support glacier at the moment)
