For me its one of the best features since I use org as a journal for
pretty much everything. My org-capture-templates entry for my journal
creation (also my org-protocol-default-template-key) is

 ("j" "Journal" entry
  (file+datetree "journal.org")
  "* %T %?\n  %i\n  %a")

So bottom line is, I use it for direct filing and not just a refile
target. A super feature. The %T meaning of course in my agenda I see the
date and time a journal item is added "in place" even if I then
reschedule it and refile it at a later date.
