What's wrong with journald? I do not know much about it, aside from having to use journalctl to view logs occasionally.

Logs being stored in binary is the main problem, I think.

You can of course copy them into whatever format you want, systemd has support for syslog style export.

Versus the logical dmesg|grep {what you are looking for} or tail -n 30 /var/log/messages.
