My answer is No. To both!
Here is why i say no to both of your questions:
I'm making text-parsing code that is used at the same time to a
cmd-line utility and to an EJB. So,
-it is not important *for me* because i use slf4j-log4j.jar in both
situations, and
-it is not just a matter of preference, because slf4j-simple.jar as it
is, is not an option for the cmd-line tool. This is a defect!
I consider 'simple' useful for when to run in pre-1.4 VMs with no JDK
logging support and log4j is just too much.
That is why a really think the distinction is really important, in general.
I'm OK only if the log messages are written to one file descriptor. stderr is also a good idea. For example, gcc, other GNU applications, and java.util.loggging writes messages to stderr by default.
So here's my +1.
