Part of my wanting to use commons logging is to use java.util.logging package. Because we're a tiny company we try to stick w/ built-in libraries when possible. Even though the jar file count would stay the same, I'm assuming the commons-logging library will change far less than log4j? Therefor one less headache when updating apps at our clients.
This may all be moot because we also use Velocity and I'm looking at Baritus.. Both which have requirements on log4j.
