Absolutely, good thing they've learned from the java logging disaster. I nerdrage so hard every time I think about it - how can one mess up something so basic, yet so important? Maybe some sunny day, they'll fix that too.
slf4j is the current solution for this kind of problem, a common interface to various different logging solutions.
"For me, starting a new project was a lot worse than just "disheartening". The SLF4J vote was just the straw that broke the camel's back. After putting many many hours of work into log4j, it became increasingly painful to waste time in arguments, where opinions got asserted by the one writing the longest email. Not fun."
