I haven't seen Mushishi yet (on my to do list), but I completely agree about Haibane Renmei. If it had been half as long, or twice as honest, it would have been fantastic. Not to mention that it's ugly and looks horrible even on DVD (blurry as hell).
Mushishi is nothing like Haibanei Renmei which I also found very boring. Mushishi is almost entirely episodic, and each episode deals with the mushi life forms and how they affect humans in their every day lives. IMO it's one of the best anime I've ever watched and one of the best ever made.
