Don't pretend that the Haskell tool ecosystem is better than the others.
Does Haskell have a debugger which is as good and easy to use as the Chrome Developer Tools (JavaScript) or Visual Studio (C/C++/C#)? Is there a good editor (comparable to VS for C# or Eclipse/NetBeans for Java) with type-aware code completion? And don't tell me about cabal, that tool is much worse than package managers in other languages, the amount of time people waste with cabal is unbelievable.
(I'm also starting to believe that these "Haskell is the best thing ever"-kids will become a bigger issue than all those "Haskell is not practical"-naysayers for the growth and success of Haskell.
The latter is annoying, but can cause people to sit down and think how working with Haskell can be made more straight-forward, while the former is blinded by his ideology and is hostile against improvements which could be seen as acknowledgements of existing flaws in the language/ecosystem.)
