> The binary format of the journal is an unnecessary non feature.

Are you aware that on RHEL7 the binary format is just in-memory? The on disk persistent log uses syslog.

> Having to run two logging daemons to ship logs for anything started under systemd is a poor design

journald aggregates log from the services's stdout/stderr, and keeps it in memory for fast access in "systemctl status" (one of my favorite systemd features). syslogs persists it. "Do one thing, do it well".

> Web access to log files.

Not mandatory, and a separate component from journald. Again, "do one thing, do it well".
