My answer is No.          To both!

Here is why i say no to both of your questions:

I'm making text-parsing code that is used at the same time to a
cmd-line utility and to an EJB. So,
-it is not important *for me* because i use slf4j-log4j.jar in both
situations, and
-it is not just a matter of preference, because slf4j-simple.jar as it
is, is not an option for the cmd-line tool.  This is a defect!

I consider 'simple' useful for when to run in pre-1.4 VMs with no JDK
logging support and log4j is just too much.
That is why a really think the distinction is really important, in general.
