If you're talking about purity then I'd agree with that, but I'm talking about haskell as a language.

I'm definitely not a haskell beginner, and I know others who are definitely not beginners and they feel the same way.

I'm talking about the language as a whole. With all of the extensions available, there's plenty there for even seasoned haskellers to learn. Sure you can get used to anything, but I've found the more advanced type features, and higher kinded polymorphism, to make code and type errors harder to reason about. Sometimes type inference screws up in ways that makes it hard to figure out whats going on.
