syslog opinion

I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on using the
syslog function to log events in an embedded system.
What the pros and cons might be between using syslog
(with its large feature set) vs. writing a simple
logging utility.  I'm not giving too many deatils
about what I'm trying to accomplish, since I'd rather
hear about other people's experiences have been.
