One thing I've found handy about log4net is that it uses the same format as log4j. So i can output logging from the .net to a socket and pick it with chainsaw just the same as I do for log4j output. Something to be said for log4j compatibility, but its not such a big deal either.

Speaking from the java side and the efficiency of of log4j it often happens that we forget to put the if(isLoggingLevelEnabled()) call in to guard complicated log statements where a lot of string concatenation or processing is done before the call. While it would be nice to have a similar logging mechanism and process across the implementations if pantheios has a smarter front-end that avoids this evaluation when logging is disabled then perhaps this is a good approach. just my 2c -- Martin Ritchie
