But really I think the biggest benefit is that, as far as I know, SLF4J integrates with every known logging framework right now. In that it can coerce JUL, and CL logging into a unified framework which I don't believe any of the other frameworks do, or do as well. Maven is about integration and for logging I believe it's the best solution that exists for the least effort. I think it's been adopted at Apache by so many projects specifically for those reasons. Ceki is also a committer, and will help us fix anything when necessary so that, again, we can focus on Maven and not logging.
