If I'm understanding this correctly, Template Haskell is a way to auto-generate repetative Haskell source code.
The thing that worries me is... if you need to write repetative Haskell source code, doesn't that mean that Haskell itself is broken in the first place?
If you've merely got repetitive code, use monads or even plain, simple functions. If you've got something to generate code from, be it an .xml or directly a direct algorithmic description of an algorithm, use templates. Imagine generating an HTML combinator library out of the HTML dtd or generating specialised versions of an n-dimensional A*. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
