A staid, solid, conservative outlook, a good perspective for others to realize is out there. I would say that concerns like daemon mode and logging are a lot less in vogue these days- a program ought concern itself with running, and outputting to stdout, and if you have needs past these it's expected you have tooling you can deploy that makes that happen.

Daemonization is at least a fairly standard feature, but with logging there's so many people with such varied concerns that getting fancy, trying to meet people's many needs, can lead to a lot of program bloat very quickly. Instead of going at these on a case-by-case basis, and now that we are more container-centric, it makes sense to run in the foreground and put your output on stdout, let the rest of the system support that utterly uncomplex pattern.
