Having worked on client apps in the past (Swing and Eclipse RCP-based), I have
to disagree with this. Logging is very important in client apps too and it's
very common to check the logs when bugs are reported or unexpected failures
occur. Many applications even offer to email the logs directly to the provider
when an unexpected error occurs.

Best,
Ismael
