Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-778:
------------------------------------
Ceki was the primary author of Log4j1. As Gary stated he is also the primary
author of Logback. Logback is definitely improved over Log4j 1 and I would have
no hesitation in using it in certain cases. That said, Log4j 2 was developed
primarily because of what were seen as deficiencies in Logback that were not
going to be addressed. In the end I think you will find that Logback might be a
better choice some of the time while Log4j 2 is better under other
circumstances.
I think we would all be interested in the details as to why Ceki believes
Logback is better. The only circumstance where I would bet that Logback is a
better choice would be on 32 bit Windows in client mode.
> logback better than log4j2 as per log4j author

> Hi log4j2 Team,
> If you remember, i had developed a custom logger for splunk based on log4j2
> with the log4j2 team's help and had presented to my architects. Unfortunately
> the decision from the architects was not to use log4j2 because of the reason
> that log4j main author recommends logback not log4j2.
> Have you heard of any such statements and if there is any scenario where
> logback is better than log4j2?
> Thanks
> Sibish
