Having one logging solution would be great, as you pointed out it must
be simple for the IDE case and the e4 RCP case.

As mentioned in the previous thread, there are already N ways of logging, so adding one more way won't make N+1 == 1.

All the logging approach that are already in are most likely meant to stay as API, so before starting such refactoring, I think it needs to be verified how much value is to be expected from it.

As spotted in the "only few committers care of know the details about logging", I think that most contributors don't really care about logging because while it might be not perfect, it just works fine in the current state and changing this wouldn't provide much added value to them.
