"Just as well"? Surely you jest. Rsync is the greatest!

But what I wanted to say was that if you plan to use rsync on a regular
basis, you can set the environment variable RSYNC_RSH=ssh . That way you 
can just type

    rsync

instead of

    rsync -e ssh

CVS also has CVS_RSH; maybe some other programs have similar environment
variables.
