I tend to ignore 99% of the clever haskell stuff and get by just fine in Haskell.
I keep learning about stuff like GADTs and whatnot, but they're more like the top of the tool drawer special tools than the ones you break out every day.
I think people learning/using haskell tend to go for crazy generalized code first, versus what gets me to a minimal working thing that I can expand/change out later.
Or I just suck at haskell, probably a little from column a and b, for me more sucking at haskell than anything.
You suck at Haskell about as much as Don Stewart :) In this talk he describes how he builds large software systems in Haskell and eschews complicated type system features
