Henning,
As far as I know the only serious proponent of using qualified imports for all imports all the time is you.
Well, so am I, but I'm not the crusading sort. Unqualified import as default is definitely the dominant style, to the point where language extensions tend to assume it, e.g. record puns, or even the whole shared record names debate. Interestingly, python and java seem to lean the other way. Not sure about ocaml, but I remember qualified names from back in the day. A culture thing, I guess. Infix operators and backticks are uniquely haskelly things that probably contribute a little.
