Ask HN: Any downsides of programming in Haskell?

To anyone who developed a real world application in Haskell, what are the downsides of it?

What is in your opinion more laborious than needed? Are library sufficiently available and documented? Is doing I/O fine? Is working with a DB easy? Please share with people interested in learning Haskell and put it to work in a real world application!

PS: asking for negatives only because I'm very interested and positive about Haskell, but I wonder if I miss some gotchas...
