scribe is a very powerful logging tool, but it also comes with its dependency costs. Compiling boost, thrift, fb303, and all the scribe logging libraries as well. If you are already a thrift shop, it can make a lot of sense, but otherwise, there is a lot of legwork to get it up and running.

Compiling a few libraries is worse than rolling your own log aggregation service? Really?

I'd rather spend a day compiling libraries than spend a week re-writing a piece of basic infrastructure.
