Is it really a weakness of Haskell or just something one has to get used
to it? That is a question I would like to get opinions from the experts!

It is for sure something a beginner stumbles upon. E.g. I (as a
beginner) stumbled upon Lazy IO but the guys out here helped me a
great deal to get over it, and I'm sure they will help me again
if I'll stumble again (which might happen).
