Who does not consider it good or idiomatic and why? Lifting things through some stages of types is a common thing in Haskell, or not?

I wasn't talking about lifting as a general concept, I was comparing to <$> and <*>. From what I've seen of Haskell code in general, people use the operators far more often, and tend to recommend them to new users.
