reasons are two-folded: haskell is more powerful language. in
particular, there are lots of generic programming approaches besides
TH. OTOH, TH is as powerful as any other syntax preprocessor, but not
as easy to use. especially if you try to learn it by reading original
papers

i suggest you to postpone learning TH. it's not Haskell way :)
