Popularity is not the issue. The issue is that we are currently in a transition from using mtl to using transformers. See:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-March/011415.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2009-October/067744.html
Are we?
Let's make a poll then!
I went back and reread the two linked threads and I'm no wiser as to why we should prefer transformers. I'd like to see an argument describing the benefits of using transformers vs the drawbacks (including how much code would break). -- Johan
