> The viewer journalctl is probably the worst log viewing app that exists

Completely disagree there. I've had quite a pleasant experience with journalctl. It has sane arguments and you can easily grep any relevant log messages from the journal. You can add custom fields to your log messages. You can even get the logs in JSON format to parse log message from any scripts. And you can even use the cursor feature of journalctl to keep reading the logs at regular intervals without having to keep a constantly running process and tail the logs.

I can understand people not liking systemd-journald on account of the binary logs, but I definitely don't understand calling journalctl the worst log viewing app.
