There were two questions; I'm guessing that John D. was responding to
the need for logarithmic graphs.
I'm not sure there is much need for actual log-log paper itself anymore,
since spread sheets (calculators) etc, can spit out the logarithm of
your x or y data values rather easily these days. But I'd listen to an
opposing view point.
They're fun to look at and show students how you did log-log plots
before calculators . . .
