100% agreed. Log4j is better supported, and probably has an order of magnitude more functionality - if not more. It's pretty much a no-brainer.
There's a book about Log4j that's excellent. https://www.qos.ch/shop/products/clm_t.jsp Log4j was a finalist in 2001 for the JavaWorld Editors Choice awards, alongside JMS and MIDP. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2001/jw-0504-finalists.html Enough said as far as I'm concerned.

The next major release, v1.3, is going to have several great new features to further distance log4j from JDK 1.4 logging. Use log4j.
