I've started using BasicPrelude with -XNoImplicitPrelude in all of my code. It imports all of those and some other stuff as well (text related functions). Cuts down on my imports by a little over half. Kind of wish it could be made the default.

Hi there,
It seems like every Haskell program I write imports the following modules:

Control.Monad
Control.Applicative
Data.Maybe
Data.List

Is there a good reason why these modules aren't imported by default? When I write a simple script usually a 1/4th of the script is just imports, and my code just looks uglier.
