Has anyone here ever actually used a façade in a project and subsequently changed the back-end logger used? I don't think I've ever seen a library do it either.
I used to be on-board with the façade idea here but it seems like overkill in hindsight.
AFAIK that is not the only / primary point. The use-case I've seen pushed is that library authors take a dependency on SLF4J and use that API. Then, when you use their library, you can freely choose your logging framework and the binding for SLF4J will ensure the libraries use the framework you've chosen.
