I encounter younger users who will only consider GUI tools.  With
traditional log files
they can use a file browser to find a log file, then try to open the
desired log in some
editor, but get access errors.  Many are working on VM's in their
institution's server
farm and may not be given root privileges, but journalctl read access for
non-root users
can be enabled by adding them to the systemd-journal group.

For GUI-only users  https://github.com/pentix/qjournalctl looks helpful,
but it is a QT5
app.  Emacs has a work-in-progess journalctl-mode <
https://github.com/SebastianMeisel/journalctl-mode>,
but emacs is not popular with the younger set who were trained on MS Word
in school,
