[logback-user] Logback vs Log4J

[Ceki Gulcu]

While the general archirecture is very similar, there are many differences. See

http://svn.qos.ch/repos/logback/trunk/logback-site/src/site/resources/logback.ppt

for a short presentation on logback. (The presentation used to be called "Ten 
reasons to switch to logback". IMHO, the higher activity seen in logback 
compared to log4j may be your most important reason to switch.
