As someone who tries to stay involved with bleeding edge of Bitcoin/Freenet/I2P/associated tech, I run a lot of "weird" daemons that don't conform to standard Unix conventions, don't have support, and may even be a single GitHub repository that has been abandoned.
Needless to say, things like like syslog support aren't always available, but I frequently can get the daemons to log to stdout.
I hate having to search through random log files scattered throughout the filesystem, so the ability of journald to automatically pull all that output into a single log stream is extraordinarily useful to me
I know nobody will probably see this comment as this is article is a submission and not "real", but I have to run and don't have time to wait and see if this makes the front page or not.
