Datalog files are woefully underused? No, they're thankfully nearly defunct, almost always replaced by better choices. Their main drawback is that any change to the cluster makes your files unreadable. At Moore Good Ideas, Inc., we obviously prefer using the Read/Write Anything tools in our free library. I DO still use them in one system, but it's an oddball use case.
