The logging system is one of those things that are just done right by systemd. I usually force everything to log to syslog and let journald handle it.

Just being able to see all potential new issues all over the system with a single command after system update + reboot is extremely time saving. Viewing only logs from the last boot, filtering, interleaving of all log messages from everything on the system, so you can easily see the timeline of things in one place, sane log rotation that doesn't make it harder to query logs, etc.

If I had to not use systemd, this is the first thing I'd rewrite or find some alternative that takes the same approach. :)
