We didn't throw away C++ back when the STL was no good. Why should the situation with Haskell be different? (And Prelude's problems are way less severe than the problems the STL used to have.)

You're not doing Haskell any favors by comparing with "the times when STL was no good" (when was this? 20 years ago? 30?).

Because the world has moved on and expects languages, their libraries and runtimes to become better.

Huh, why not? He's comparing not equating, after all.
