I get the feeling that Haskell is for researchers to explore ideas about
programming in but no one is interested in doing The grind work of
cranking out useful basic libraries. 
I guess you need borrow some of those Java Chimps :).

Am I the only person on the list that feels this way ?

No.  You're not.  I wish I knew the language better so I could start working on those libraries.  I love the language, but can't use it.
