I believe the popularity ranking is:
1) logback
2) log4j 2.x
3) jul
4) log4j 1.x (obsolete, deprecated)

The big benefit of configuration files over programmatic
configuration is that it allows operations to change logging
without requiring help from software engineering.

@Log4j2 annotation is a Lombok feature I believe, so only
a possibility for those using Lombok.
