ouch, I was confusing the mtl and transformers package...

so basically transformers is a better replacement for mtl? 

or does mtl offer things transformers does not?

I was using the transformers but still had to implement the Applicative instance of State

In 'transformers' State is a type synonym for StateT Identity and thus does not need an own instance declaration.
