Well, if you never heard anyone complaining about [Char] and never had any problem with it's slowness, you're probably not in a field where the efficiency of a Unicode library is really a concern, that's for sure. (I know that the _main_ problem with [Char] wasn't random access, but you must admit [Char] isn't really a good example to speak about efficiency problems)
I have problems with [Char] and use ByteString instead but that forces me to keep track of the encoding myself and hence UnicodeString.
