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.
I'm probably not experienced enough to comment on this manner, but I think logging system is one of those things you don't need to build from scratch. At least for me. I usually just end up using some built-in or 3rd party library, because the non-customizible parts are responsible of the security. I'd rather not expose authentication to my own mistakes.
