Re: [Rails-devel] Update of the logging framework

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

I consider log4j good enough, but I have no real objections.  

In an slf4j example I noticed the use of {} placeholders in the logged text, with arguments, and I like that. 
On first sight, logback looks slightly better than log4j.  Not sure if the documentation is that much better, though: I had to click around for a while before I found a few more than trivial code examples. But I guess that's just me.

Go ahead if you prefer it.

Erik.
