Reverse Dependencies shows the reverse dependencies of each Haskell package (those packages that depend upon it). I sorted the list to check the packages with most reverse dependencies. Here are top 30 Haskell packages among 2348 packages.

  1. base 5961
  2. containers 2110
  3. bytestring 2018
  4. mtl 1664
  5. directory 1068
  6. text 979
  7. transformers 971
  8. filepath 934
  9. time 723
  10. array 696
  11. process 628
  12. QuickCheck 621
  13. network 581
  14. parsec 577
  15. random 537
  16. HUnit 491
  17. template-haskell 488
  18. vector 429
  19. binary 399
  20. test-framework 379
  21. utf8-string 334
  22. unix 331
  23. old-locale 325
  24. deepseq 323
  25. pretty 288
  26. stm 274
  27. test-framework-quickcheck2 270
  28. test-framework-hunit 264
  29. attoparsec 263
  30. aeson 254

Though the list does not show the importance of each package, there is high chance that you need to use at least one of these packages when you write your own package. So to become a seasoned Haskell programmer, you need to get accustomed to these packages.
