Because ADIF is not easy to parse with standard Unix tools. This mostly is because it uses an tag-length-value system. It is fine as a data exchange protocol but hard to work with unless you use dedicated tools. Most other log programs are using SQL databases which have a very expressive query language and cal also be used concurrently. From my understanding xlog shall be an easy to use and single user log program. Thus I doubt that a complicated log on-disk format makes sense. The current flog format is okay but somewhat limited in extensibility and you need to take care if you want to change it with an editor. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
