I agree entirely. The one thing which is pushing me from C++ to Haskell is cabal, and a large selection of easy-to-install libraries.
One thing that makes this hard in C++ of course is people tend to get annoyed if libraries don't work with clang, g++ and a recent visual studio. Even then you have the problem of older g++ and old visual studio, and then esoteric compilers. In Haskell on the other hand people tend to always be running a recent version of ghc.
