virtually all proper daemons are using syslog because you can control that with "rsyslog.conf" or whatever syslog-daemon you are using and the way logrotate works is unified logrotate is enough to use syslog because only rsyslog needs a SIGHUP after rotate without interrupt/reload any service having each service managing his own logfiles makes this terrible to control
