I agree, but with a slight difference. Since I am so lazy, if Binary
fits, like 80% of my requirements, for example this case, only
[String] is not OK. I'd like to reuse it with a little modification
made by myself, rather than re-write almost the whole of it.
But for Data.Binary, I think this problem is simple. Since it cannot
be derivinged, making extra function for [String] won't make the
further usage of my library complex.

Hello,
I only use the 'Binary' class when I don't care about the specifics of the serialization format, only that it be reasonably fast, compact and stable.
When I need to comply with some particular format I use the functions in Data.Binary.Builder and Data.Binary.Get directly. Sometimes I make my own Serialize/Deserialize classes if I think it will be helpful.
But I do look at the source for the instances of the 'Binary' class for inspiration!
Take care, Antoine
