It's a bit bold to simultaneously say "Nobody should use this type," and<br>
also "If you use this type, you should do it this way." If you think<br>

I believe he was referring to lists, not to tuples. There were few Prelude functions limited to tuples before FTP, and those haven't changed.<br>

I didn't say that. I was referring to his response to my post, that<br>
"Some delusions have very sophisticated explanations."<br>

<br>
This is entirely subjective, and frankly I don't think that post-FTP<br>
Haskell is a "mess" or is "unpleasant to use". If anything, it became<br>
more useful to me, because now Prelude functions aren't limited to the<br>
one data structure I almost never use.<br>
