If most uses of "$" are for,

putStrLn $ "Hello" ++ " world!"

to avoid,

putStrLn ("Hello" ++ " world!")

then I think it's silly to worry about the type of "$". Most people don't have to know, care, or use it -- the second example is much clearer.

Only if you are on the standard programming language mindset. I.e. those who learn Haskell first will find putStrLn "Hello" ++ "world!" more natural.
