It's much easy to debug a web application in an IDE these days, and the logging statements tend to complicate the design.
Please keep in mind that there are still a good number of people who do not use an IDE at all. I would take the stance that an example that will have a large audience should tailor to the lowest common denominator, and that would be use folks who use a text editor, Ant and a command line all day. Logging helps :)
In what way do logging statements complicate a design? I view them much like comments in that yes, then can get in the way a bit if you do them poorly, but they should be an expected part of an application none the less because they generally bring value (unless there are performance concerns I suppose).
