Discussion shouldn’t happen on the main vote thread please. Users are certainly free to use Logback. If they are OK with losing log events during reconfiguration and using a framework that is maintained by one person and are OK when he disappears for a year and a half that is their choice. Please remember, this is not a commercial venture. No Java logging framework is.
Switching to Logback also requires work. It doesn’t natively support Log4j 1 configuration files. Log4j 2 does support Log4j 1 configuration using the Log4j 1.2 bridge, which we are constantly improving. But the bottom line is that I would prefer that users migrate to Logback over sticking with Log4j 1. Although it has many of Log4j 1’s flaws it does not suffer from the multi-threading issues that Log4j 1 has. Of course, I think Log4j 2 is a better choice, but I am obviously biased. Happy New Year!
