I find Uniplate to be completely the opposite. I always use the predefine schemes, and they are nearly always exactly what I want. Whether this is a difference in the traversals provided by the library, or in the mindset of the user of the library is still up for debate. Might help if library au

I don't know enough about Uniplate to make a judgement on that point, so I'll just pipe up and say that having Data/Typeable instances for Expr, Binds and friends would be of much benefit to the GHC plugins project. I've actually already written my own instances and put them straight into CoreSyn.

I've never found the rationale for GHC's binary incompatibility very convincing (yes, we want cross-package optimizations, and yes, we do like it if GHC V(n+1) does a better job at compiling package P than GHC Vn did; but why can't GHC V(n+1) do at least as good a job as GHC Vn with package P comp
