They should have just offered a way to make it write text log files.

I have a prototype FUSE filesystem which renders the journal as a tree of .log files (https://github.com/awfulcooking/journalfs)

But my muscles finally learned `journalctl` and after reading the docs I mainly use it.

Patches welcome to make journalfs practical (i think it may be lagging output when you `tail -f` atm)

Would love to see systemd offer a virtual filesystem interface by default.
