I agree with this wholeheartedly. When I first started playing with Haskell, some of the tutorials made it look like it was very difficult to do anything practical with it because doing real input and output seemed like an "advanced topic".
The drawback is that I saw many Haskell programs implemented with IO read/write functions which could be easily implemented without IO, using laziness.
Can you think of any examples of things like that? Given that I'm still learning how to take advantage of laziness it'd be pretty interesting.
