I actually love parser-combinators. Something about writing them feels very 'correct' and they're often the first I reach for when I've got to parse something and there isn't a pre-existing library. It's one of the tasks Haskell feels especially well suited for: the function composition tools and the syntax make reading and writing them especially straightforward. Writing parser combinators in other languages just feels clunky.
