Same with me. I like using them, but turning on a language extension feels excessive.

I use them sometimes, but would do that much more if they didn't require adding an extension.

I personally use tuple sections a fair bit, though admittedly mostly for simple (,a) or (a,) cases.

My main concern is its a really weird corner case for the grammar to remember for tuple sections and it does have very weird grammar specification issues. Tuple sections could look like (True, _) rather than (True,)

Does anyone know how common tuple sections are, incidentally? They've been around since GHC 6.12, so it would be interesting to know if people are actually using them.
