It is relatively small.
It is "alive".
It has a license which allows it to be used in proprietary applications.
It doesn't have any extra dependencies.

I'm using the Rolling File Appender, and use the day of the week as part of 
the filename, so there are in general log files from the last 7 days present. 
Now it would be nice if it would also start a new log file at midnight.
As it is now, if the log file is started Monday and the application runs for 
more days, all logging still goes into the same file (as long as the maximum 
size has not been reached).
