I'm not sure if they /were/ but they certainly /are/...

no?

Okay, how many of these streambuf methods are you familiar with?

For me that's probably between 0-2.

Now do you /really/ expect to be able to implement your own 
stream in a reasonable amount of time with a streambuf interface 
like this? That's what's wrong with streams in C++.
