JHC has the feature that

It lets you have deep module hiarchies without deep directory hierarchies and is not terribly surprising as behaviors go.
Well, it might not be terribly surprising in itself, but we just have quite complex systems and the not terribly surprising things just accumulate and then it might get surprising somewhere. I really prefer simplicity and explicitly. If a central tool like GHC adds this behaviour, then all other tools are forced to follow. Greetings, Daniel
