Is it? Are you making this claim based on actual evidence or on-the-ground experience, or is it (and pardon for me being suspicious, but here it comes) just a random claim that some LLM spit out, and you didn't think to question it?

The reason I ask is that my own impression is that scala-logging isn't much used anymore. My evidence is for this is that it's been largely unmaintained for some years now (some light community-based maintenance is happening, but very little), and when it was becoming semi-abandoned, the number of people who even noticed seemed remarkably low.

It's certainly _possible_ that it's in wider use than I think, but I don't claim to know. Do _you_ actually know what you are claiming to know?
