Why not use ASL, since it's built into the OS?

ASL supports logging level filtering and redirection to one or more
URLs. It's a C library, but it's quite trivial to write an ObjC
wrapper on top (email me offline, if you'd like to take a look a my
code; I'm not quite ready to release it publically).
There are a number of reasons to use Log4Cocoa over something like
ASL. The fact that it already supports Obj-C is the least of them.
* It supports various logging levels,
* supports logging to other than the default system file,
* different logging levels for different classes. This is a biggie,
as often when you are debugging, you want to see very detailed log
messages, but only for the class or subsystem of interest.
* the ability to configure logging from a config file or
programatically,
* the ability to change logging level without restarting the app,
* custom formatting of output,
* automatic log rotation,
* and others.
