Text logs let me do all the things I want to do.

Grep them, tail them, copy and paste, search, transform them, look at them in less, open them in any editor. I love two write little bash oneliners that answer questions about logs. I can use these onliners everywhere anytime.

I dont have any of the ­efficiency problems the author talks about.
