Related to this issue, I have a question here.
I might be wrong, but it seems to me that some Haskellers don't like writing monads (with do notation) or arrows (with proc sugar) because of the fact they have to abandon the typical applicative syntax, which is so close to the beautiful lambda calculus core. Or is it maybe because some people choose monads were the less linear applicative style could be used instead, so the choice of monads is not always appropriate.
Haskell is full of little hardcoded syntax extensions: list notation syntactic, list comprehensions, and even operator precedence that reduces the need for parentheses, etc...
