JCL 1.0x "has a bit of a bad reputation": Some developers/admins (profession) or people who have developer and/or admin jobs (this is not the same) expect _any_ software to unzip, click on the start button, and _everything_ works with the default settings. Even more: The whole system
is completely self healing, regardless which error occurs.
I understand your remark from the use in tomcat environments. A J2EE server is not a plug'n'play system like a USB->MP3 stick, but some people seem to expect that. Until they do not change their mind and recognize that there is software which has the need to read and understand
documentation you  will have this "bit of a bad reputation".

In my company this has led to a proprietary logging framework. It is ment to be a independent wrapper, but in reality it just works with log4j.
It has very cruelly methods like
public void debug(Exception e, Object message);
public static void debug(String loggercategory, Object message);

Please develop JCL as it is developed now: High quality, excellent functionality, debug output to support solving problems, need to read/understand documentation NOT: Low functionality to avoid errors to support the minority mentioned above.

Regards
Boris
