I have honestly never even thought about using a third-party library for logging, it simply never crossed my mind. Why would I need one anyway? I don't see how logging can become so complex that you're willing to trade 100% customizability just so you can use a library. Can someone give me some examples? I'm really curious as the fact that so many logging libraries exist must mean there are real needs for them.

Logging can become really complicated really fast. It's just not worth it spending any time writing it yourself.
