Once all the user base of Haskell combined manage to create 1/100th of what one of Symbolics, TI and Xerox, or NTT managed to do with Lisp, I might start paying attention.

This is, amongst other things:
+ Hardware designed to support (by being conceptually cohesive with) a Lisp system.
+ A multi-tasking, networked, operating system capable of controlling a variety of HCIs (especially raster displays (including projectors and television), keyboards, mice and printers).
+ An advanced presentation based GUI library.
+ A graphical interface to the operating system on top of that GUI library.
+ A GUI driven presentation editor and programming environment with the ability to:
+ Intuitively design a presentation based interface.
+ Graphically inspect and modify any instantiated object in the (entire) system, including low level drivers and the programming environemnt itself.
+ Individually run any one procedure at the user's will in an environment of the user's will (including specific machine) with arguments of the user's will (i.e. a REPL).
+ Instantenously find the definition of any symbol (identifier) at point (whether it be remote or local)
+ The ability to recompile any definition at point.
+ The ability to do all of this whether the programs are remote or local.
+ Other GUI driven production environments, widely deployed in professional production, for:
+ Image editing
+ Video editing
+ 3D modelling
+ 3D animation
+ Electrical and VLSI CAD.
+ (KE based!) Mechanical 3D CAD.
+ Knowledge engineering.
+ CAS.
+ Symbiosis with massively parallel computers (e.g. the connection machine, which was programmed with, and augmented a, Symbolics work station in a special dialect of Lisp (called star Lisp)).

The swan song of Haskell is that it has been used to write a few financial calcs and game strategies at the behest of traders.
